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.

Planetary Nebula NGC6302 – A Test Bed for Dust Formation and Processing in a Dense Torus Irradiated by Harsh UV Radiation
22JWGO1-14
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.
The project will investigate how dust is formed in old stars and subsequently modified by the radiation and wind of the star and interaction with other atoms, molecules and particles.

Radiative Feedback From Massive Stars as Traced by Multiband Imaging and Spectroscopic Mosaics
22JWGO1-16
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.
The project will obtain the first spatially resolved, high spectral resolution IR observations of the Orion Bar using NIRCam, NIRSpec, and MIRI.

Resolving the Cooling Flow at the Center of the Phoenix Cluster with MIRI
22JWGO1-18
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.
The project will observe cooling gas in the Phoenix Cluster of galaxies as it forms stars in the central galaxy and finds its way into the nucleus to feed the black hole.

The Ring Nebula as a Laboratory for the Interaction of Molecules, PAHs and Dust in Strong UV Radiation Fields
22JWG01-22
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.
The project will investigate how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other molecules form, evolve and survive in clumpy, irradiated environments by observing the Ring Nebula with JWST instruments MIRI, NIRSpec and NIRCam to measure and analyze the emission of atomic, molecular and particulate components.

BROWN DWARFS, WHITE DWARFS AND PLANETARY DISKS IN AN ANCIENT STELLAR SYSTEM
22JWGO1-04
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
Globular star clusters are the oldest assemblages of stars in our Galaxy. Their roughly coeval populations, sharing the same composition and distance from Earth, are ideal laboratories to test out theories of stellar evolution. With JWST they will observe the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, one of the richest and most extensively observed such clusters in our Galaxy, for the first time the cooling brown dwarf sequence and to hunt for ancient planetary systems around white dwarfs.

Mid-Infrared Molecular Absorption in the Atmospheres of K Giants
22JWGO1-10
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
We will observe four K giants with the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) on JWST. Our MRS observations will resolve the line structure in the mid-infrared absorption bands with better spectral resolution and sensitivity than ever before possible. The resulting spectra will reveal the temperature and other physical properties of the absorbing molecular layer as a function of wavelength. With these measurements, we can build a better generation of more accurate models of late-type stellar atmospheres and improve the calibration of infrared space observations.
