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.

A Broadband Search for X-ray Emission from a Nearby Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in an Extragalactic Globular Cluster
24EXPAST01
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief, energetic flashes of radio waves emitted by unknown astrophysical objects located outside of our galaxy. The origins of these enigmatic transients remain one of the greatest mysteries in modern astrophysics. To further understand this phenomenon, AstroSat will observe a nearby repeating FRB source, located in an extragalactic globular cluster, across optical to X-ray wavelengths, utilizing AstroSat’s LAXPC, CZTI, SXT, and UVIT instruments. The team will perform simultaneous, high time resolution observations with sensitive radio telescopes, including CHIME, Effelsberg, and the GBT, to search for multiwavelength emission coinciding with FRB activity. AstroSat’s hard X-ray detectors will enable the search for X-ray emission from the FRB source with unprecedented sensitivity and perform critical tests of FRB models that will shed light on the origins of this source.

Astrosat Resolves the Heating Mechanisms of the Molecular ISM
24EXPAST02
This project will be using new images from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on the Astrosat satellite mission to study the ultraviolet (UV) light from high mass stars in a nearby galaxy. Theories predict that this high-energy UV light is thought to heat the surrounding gas in the galaxy, but, until now, the combination of high-resolution UV maps (from Astrosat) and sensitive maps of the gas that can trace gas temperature (from a ground-based radio telescope) were not abailable simultaneously. The project will measure whether there is a signature of gas heating from high mass stars.
