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.

Development of separation and characterization methods for nanoplastics reference materials

Agreement Number:

973445

Duration: from Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 14, 2025
Description:

This project is designed to better understand the impact of nanoplastics on Canadian waterbodies and to fully investigate the chemical compositions of the nanoplastics in those waterbodies. The project goals are to establish and fine-tune an effective sample pre-treatment and preparation method to separate heterogeneous nanoplastic samples, to establish a novel library of thermal analysis data collected from multi-component mixtures of model nanoplastics commonly found in Canadian environmental samples, to validate nanoplastics test protocols using both spiked and real-world samples, and ultimately to identify and quantitatively analyze nanoplastics in Canadian waterbodies.
