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.

Tr. Grant: Health Research Training Platform - Drug Safety and Effectiveness
163551
The specific objective(s) of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support the development of structured, openly accessible and sustainable training and mentoring platforms that build capacity in areas of major health issues, scientific opportunities and critical gaps by:
o Supporting the engagement of trainees and ECRs in collaborative research across institutions, disciplines, jurisdictions and sectors;
o Incorporating diverse training approaches, including experiential training opportunities;
o Including diverse and inclusive paradigms of research training and mentoring (e.g. Indigenous Ways of Knowing) in a meaningful and culturally-safe manner; and

Chair: Applied Public Health Chair - General Pool
163511
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Support high quality programs of population health intervention research that contribute to new knowledge to improve health and health equity across the life course. A program of research outlines multiple research projects that are conceptually linked and implemented over several years, based on an analysis of gaps in current knowledge in the field, especially gaps of importance to knowledge users engaged in relevant policies and programs in public health and other sectors.
• Stimulate the application of innovative theories, methods and approaches in research and knowledge translation that promote reciprocal learning within and between countries. This includes low-, middle- and/or high-income countries.
• Catalyze interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaborations between researchers and knowledge users that contribute to evidence-informed decision-making and use of knowledge by public health and other sectors.
• Support and strengthen the ability of the research community to respond with actionable evidence to emerging or re-emerging public health concerns that could impact the health and well-being of Canadians.
• Mentor the current and next generation of population and public health researchers (in particular post-doctoral fellows and early career researchers), practitioners and policy makers from a range of disciplines and sectors.
