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.

Access to Justice Plus and Rights in Hand
13663190
The “Access to Justice Plus and Rights in Hand” project by RECAF will improve legal understanding among Francophone newcomers from Black communities, who continue to face systemic barriers to accessing justice in Canada. The initiative offers culturally adapted support, using tools such as AI and TikTok, to help individuals better understand their rights and navigate the legal system. The project includes establishing its foundations, delivering community-based legal education, conducting participatory research with Francophone immigrants, and producing short explanatory videos based on themes identified during the previous project.

Field Validation of Cavitating Anchor Drag Improvements
1043033
Field-validate the dynamics of cavitation of water vapour around an anchor body and quantify its effect on hydrodynamic drag reduction. Lower anchor drag will result in deeper and therefore stronger subsea anchorages in a lighter more compact anchor, reducing offshore construction time, risk, cost, and environmental impact.
