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.

UNLEASH INNOVATION LAB, CANADA EDITION

Agreement Number:

7448003 P012312001

Duration: from Feb 16, 2023 to Jul 31, 2025
Description:

NCGC is proposing to host an UNLEASH Canada Regional Innovation Lab, a 7-day innovation in-person conference that would bring together global talent from across the circumpolar north for events that aim to build capacity and generate innovative solutions.

Lab participants would be youth aged 18 to 35. It will benefit up to 200 Canadian youth, including 100 from the Territories and northern Canada, and 100 from Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark, including Faroe Islands and Greenland), for a total of 300 youth.

The UNLEASH Regional Innovation Labs are ongoing events (in average every 2 years), and the next one will take place in Canada

XRISM Guest Scientist (XGS) Program for the Perseus Cluster Performance Verification (PV) Target. Measuring gas motions using a multi-wavelength approach and novel machine learning tools

Agreement Number:

22EXPXRISM

Duration: from Feb 16, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

One of the primary objectives of XRISM is to understand the gas motions of the Perseus cluster of galaxies and how these connect to the black hole feedback processes. We propose a collaboration that will bring a unique set of expertise and observations. We will build a recurrent inference machine (i.e. a type of neural network) that can successfully deconvolve the intrinsic X-ray spectrum of a source from the XRISM instrumental response function. Overall, this collaboration will significantly enhance the XRISM science case for Perseus, and more generally, galaxy clusters.

Duration: from Feb 16, 2023 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

This project objective is to update the permanent Space exhibit to feature more current information related to Canada’s participation in present and future endeavours related to Moon exploration, such as Artemis Missions and the Lunar Gateway. In this exhibit, children will have the opportunity to learn about the process of designing and building technology such as the Canadarm3, other Gateway modules, and lunar rover components; transporting people into space and to the Moon via the Artemis Missions; and how ongoing research can be applied to the wider exploration of the galaxy. The exhibit refresh will also expand children’s interest in moon-related topics through hands-on exploration of engaging materials.
