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.

Co-Investigator on the Mars Perseverance Rover: Mastcam-Z
22EXPCOI4
Dr. Cloutis has been involved in the NASA Mars Perseverance Rover mission since 2013, as a Co-Investigator on the Mastcam-Z
Science Team (and as a Collaborator on the SuperCam Science Team). Mastcam-Z was selected for flight on the rover and is
currently operating on Mars. He proposes to continue, deepen, and expand this involvement through this Announcement of
Opportunity.
With this Co-Investigator grant he will be able to more fully participate in this ongoing mission. The Co-Investigator grant will
allow: (1) The proposer to attend team meetings of the full rover team and Mastcam-Z and SuperCam teams; (2) fund
Canadian students to contribute more fully to rover and instrument operations in various roles; (3) respond to new discoveries
by the mission via short-turnaround supporting laboratory studies; (4) train Canadian students via analogue field deployment
to be able to better engage in rover data analysis; (5) bring new Canadian HQP into planetary exploration
