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.

Determining the effectiveness of Artificial gravity with Cycling or
vibration Exercise on Achilles tendon changes following 60 days of bedrest - An MRI-based analysis of the BRACE and
BRAVE RandomIzed Control trials: The Achilles ACE MAVERIC study

Agreement Number:

25HLSDM7

Duration: from Jul 11, 2025 to Jul 15, 2026
Description:

This project will find out whether providing a treatment with artificial gravity (using a human centrifuge) combined with either cycling while in bed or exercising while the whole body is being vibrated can help stop an Achilles injury after bedrest.

CARAT: Canadian Calibrator for Radio Telescopes

Agreement Number:

25FATOB53

Duration: from Mar 3, 2026 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

CARAT is a space-based instrument that will fly in low-Earth orbit on a CubeSat and act as a known reference source for Canadian and other ground-based radio telescopes. This “artificial radio star” can be observed, tracked, and used to calibrate their receivers to greatly improve their accuracy.

Agreement:

Development of Advanced Materials for Improved Protection Against Ballistic Impacts, Wear and Corrosion Damage with Additive Manufacturing and Cold Spraying

Agreement Number:

CFPMN1-035

Duration: from Aug 15, 2019 to Aug 14, 2022
Description:

The project aims to develop advanced high strength materials in the form of nanostructured and high-entropy alloys, with enhanced mechanical properties, to improve the resistance to damage from high velocity ballistics and shrapnel projectiles by developing functionally-graded (FG) materials and structures which will replace the heavy ceramic-metal polymer layers in current armour. Artificial neural network learning will be used to study the influence material sequence in FG structures with different geometries that will be designed for enhanced energy absorption and resistance to damage under various forms of ballistic loading conditions.

SmartCone “Corridor” Smart Transit Technology for Low-GHG Travel

Agreement Number:

1029620

Duration: from Mar 4, 2025 to Nov 30, 2026
Description:

Technologies directly addressing low-GHG transport can reduce GHG to zero over time; however, this will require cities to proactively develop smart transit options and widespread public adoption strategies.SmartCone’s “Intelligent Corridor” program removes barriers to smart transit adoption, protecting vulnerable road users through “smart” crosswalks and bike lanes and monitoring car traffic / emissions in real time. SmartCone’s AI-enabled intelligent infrastructure system brings interconnectivity, high-level analytics, data collection, monitoring and alerting together to increase safety and ease of use for alternative transportation.
