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.

Digital Core Electronics for a Phased Array SAR Payload

Agreement Number:

22STDPQ30

Duration: from Jan 12, 2023 to Mar 29, 2023
Description:

SpaceAlpha is developing a fully digital, dual-band multi-aperture spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor for remote sensing the earth regardless of cloud cover or daylight conditions.

This Space Technology Development Program (STDP) project aims to prototype the next generation of digital electronics at the heart of the sensor (the Digital Radio Frequency Unit, or DRFU). We approach the project using the latest Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices, which will bring a significant reduction in size, power and complexity to the sensor. Furthermore, the new DRFU will have the interfaces to fully interact with SpaceAlpha’s High Speed On-Board Processor (HSOBP) currently being built under a separate contract. The combination of this new DRFU and the HSOBP on a SAR satellite will enable ground-breaking real-time artificial intelligence in a spaceborne remote sensing system that is built in Canada.

Agreement:

Managing Exits from Armed Conflict

Agreement Number:

7447190 P012203001

Duration: from Jan 12, 2023 to Oct 31, 2026
Description:

For decades, the UN and its partners have provided and supported a range of interventions to help groups and individuals exit armed conflict. Yet there is a significant knowledge gap regarding which interventions are effective in supporting reintegration, for whom, and under which conditions. This initiative seeks to redress this knowledge gap by developing a unified, rigorous approach to integrated impact assessment of demobilization and reintegration interventions.
United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) works with United Nations partners, including the Department of Peace Operations, and national partners. The project expects the hold research and data collection activities in Colombia, Iraq, Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Nigeria.
