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.

The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program
22JWGO1-23
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.
This project will observe the full suite of transiting planet characterization geometries (transits, eclipses, and phase curves), and target planets with host stars that span an illustrative range of brightnesses. These observations, taken with the time-series modes of all four JWST instruments, will provide a compelling set of representative datasets and enable immediate scientific breakthroughs.

Unveiling Stellar Light from Host Galaxies of Z~6 Quasars
22JWGO1-24
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.
This project will demonstrate the capability of JWST to observe quasar host galaxies in the early Universe, and provide valuable insight into the growth of black holes and galaxies in the early Universe, and of the relationships between black holes and their host galaxies.

JWST CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTREMELY MASSIVE GALAXIES IN THE EARLY UNIVERSE
22JWGO1-08
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.
Using the unprecedented spectroscopic and imaging capabilities of JWST this project is a first attempt to measure the age of stellar populations, the star formation rates, and the shapes of the earliest formed massive galaxies. The long-wavelength capability of JWST will reveal the nature of massive galaxies during their peak formation epoch and will return key information on how such galaxies and their massive black holes form so fast, so early.
