Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Nanobubble Technology for gas-liquid enhancement in food growth applications for spaceflight environments
23FAYORB70
The main objectives of the project include expanding the range of gases for creating nanobubbles, standardizing methods for their characterization, and testing their resilience in conditions simulating space. The goal is to investigate plant growth in microgravity conditions that tests these systems in terrestrial environments within a simulated space environment. The expected outcomes include advancements in scientific knowledge and technological development in space health and life science, training opportunities for a minimum of 5 students, and benefits to Canadian populations.

Day-time Star Tracker Design and Demonstration for Space Situational Awareness SSA
23FAYORA06
The long-term objective of this project is to develop a low-cost wide field-of-view (FOV) optical system for debris detection from a nanosatellite. The project will aim to develop a more compact camera capable of real-time image processing for space surveillance in challenging lighting conditions. The project objectives are to design an advanced star field simulator to accurately represent challenging imaging environment, to develop an algorithm using neural network for star and RSO detection in non-ideal light conditions, and to design a real-time adaptive camera control in response to changes in illumination conditions.

Building Canada's Capacity for Wide Field Space Astronomy with Euclid
23EXPROSS2
The recently launched Euclid Space Telescope will observe billions of galaxies across 10 billion years of Cosmic history to build a 3-dimensional map of a third of the sky. This will allow us to trace the formation and growth of the earliest supermassive black holes and their impact on the lives of galaxies. This project will enable Canada to utilize Euclid's extraordinary dataset to search for the origin of supermassive black holes and reveal the evolution of galaxies and their stars, while building the necessary expertise for Canada to lead its own wide field missions in the next decade.

Maximizing the Science Impact of NIRISS Pure Parallel Observations
23JWGO2B04
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
This project will extract emission line maps from JWST/NIRISS data to produce a publicly available catalog which will then be used to analyze the spatial distribution of star formation within galaxies at Cosmic Noon. These emission line maps detail where emission line fluxes originate from within galaxies and contain information about the chemical abundances, distribution of dust, ages of the stellar populations, and the rate of star formation. This project is part of the OutThere survey, and alongside other data from the survey will further our understanding of how galaxies grow and evolve.
