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.

Pulsar Space Industry Mentorship Program
24EDIPUL15
The Pulsar Career Launchpad will be the first space education program of its kind in Atlantic Canada, educating students of all backgrounds to better serve the diverse needs of the space industry. Unlike many space programs, which recruit students primarily from computer science or engineering programs, the Pulsar Institute will recruit 50 students from all post-secondary backgrounds, including commerce, the humanities, social sciences, and trades in addition to students in science and engineering programs. In the ever-growing space industry, and in supporting the CSA in prioritising innovation and industrial capabilities, the Pulsar Career Launchpad will engage with a relatively untouched demographic of students interested in the space sector to contribute to the ever-expanding space ecosystem, potentially resulting in a boost to economic growth and job opportunities within the industry.

Investigating space anemia in female astronauts using simulated models and space
24EDIOTT07
This project is a STEM internship opportunity for post-secondary Canadian students of underrepresented groups to advance their knowledge of space health research. Trainees will be investigating space anemia using MRI and ultrasound measures, gas chromatograph carbon monoxide measures, and clinical and laboratory markers of hemolysis. Trainees will measure the vertebral fat fraction of the lumbar spine and calcaneus, and anthropomorphic measures, iron concentration, shear-wave elastography, and perfusion/diffusion ratios of the spleen and liver, using ITK-snap and in-house developed MATLAB software. Trainees will also measure ambient and alveolar air samples using gas chromatography and will analyze the data under the supervision of the team’s statistician to measure the effect of space and various countermeasures on space anemia, and to identify sex-differences. Through these proposed activities, trainees will have the opportunity to acquire hands-on knowledge and experience related to space health research. They will form partnerships and be directly mentored by prominent scientists in the space sector.
