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.

GA4GH: National Genomics Data Sharing Initiative
187699
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Advance research to support more accurate data interpretation, diagnosis, and innovative solutions across healthcare through global cooperation in data sharing and clinical implementation of genomics.
• Advance research to create improved frameworks and standards to enable the responsible, voluntary, and secure sharing of genomic and health-related data.
• Promote and facilitate the integration of FAIR principles (WSC: #moreinformation) in data science research endeavours.
• Advance implementation research to reduce both duplication of efforts and promote the collection of compatible research and clinical genomic data and health information to enable global sharing.
• Identify areas of collaboration and resource/expertise sharing.
• Enable national and global data sharing projects using large-scale cohorts to improve research into health and disease.
• Strengthen research excellence and ensure maximum research impact through consideration of diverse biological and/or socio-cultural identity factors in research design, including diverse research methods such as those based in Indigenous ways of knowing.

Nanosatellite Platform Development to Support Canadian New Space Ventures
25STDPX37
Quaternion Aerospace will develop a low cost, highly capable, and fully Canadian nanosatellite platform to strengthen domestic space industry capabilities and decouple from reliance on foreign suppliers. This platform will provide all of the systems needed to build a satellite, allowing Canada’s science, business, and defense industries to get their technologies into orbit quicker and at a lower cost, without any dependence on foreign countries. Quaternion will offer an off-the-shelf solution - either as individual components, or as a complete satellite bus - ready to be tailored to Canada's most pressing needs, from Artic military surveillance to detection and monitoring of wildfires, to forestry and crop monitoring. This will allow more of the money spent in these critical areas to remain in Canada, foster a strong domestic aerospace HQP pool, and accelerate the pace of innovation to ensure that Canada remains, strong, sovereign, and competitive in an ever-changing world.

Development of a Miniaturized Ion Source for Space Exploration
25STDPZ03
Active interrogation techniques using neutron beams are typically used for material identification and elemental analysis over a broad spectrum of space and terrestrial applications. Space applications include searching for volatiles, geological characterization, and (eventually) prospecting to enable mining and in-situ resource utilization; applications on Earth include explosives and narcotics detection in security arenas. BTI is proposing to develop a simple, miniature, ruggedized ion source as a component of future neutron generators and ion-beam probes.

Outreach and Peer Support
2526-HQ-000069
This initiative aims to strengthen outreach capacity by hiring dedicated outreach and peer support workers to deliver life-saving assistance and connect individuals in crisis to essential care pathways. Outreach workers will provide community education on available supports, help clients navigate the healthcare system following a crisis, and link them to existing services such as withdrawal management and blood-borne infection services, to enhance the prevention, management, and treatment of blood-borne infections within the community.
