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.

Re-estimating the Abundance of the Lancaster Sound Polar Bear Subpopulation
GC-1440
This contribution supports fuel purchase and transport for a polar bear survey that will be led by the Government of Nunavut. This survey will make it possible to estimate the current polar bear population size and composition in the Lancaster Sound subpopulation, which overlaps Qausuittuq National Park, Sirmilik National Park, and Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area.

Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
7428855 P007358001
This project aims to improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes and the realization of rights among different population groups with distinct SRH needs in Bangladesh. This project identifies gaps in current SRH service provision and assesses the SRH target groups' unmet needs through research. These groups include adolescent boys and girls, pregnant women and newly married couples and people with distinct SRH needs, women in the ready-made garments sector, sex workers, people with diverse sexual orientations and drug users. The project designs, develops and implements several inventions and innovations that include: (a) increasing knowledge and evidence regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) burden, needs, risk factors, service gaps and challenges; (b) identifying interventions/innovations to promote prevention and protection and improve treatment (accessibility, availability, readiness and quality); and (c) increasing capacity for the use of the evidence generated through SRHR research in national policy and practice.
Project activities include: (1) establishing cohorts with population groups with distinct SRHR needs in selected rural and urban areas; (2) estimating SRH-related disease burden, risk factors and outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs; (3) understanding COVID-19-related susceptibility, role in transmission dynamics and clinical outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs and vulnerability; (4) assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behaviour, practice and health of different populations with SRH distinct needs; (5) setting up invention and innovation hubs through selective inventions and innovations designed, developed and tested for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (6) conducting research prioritisation exercise for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (7) establishing a health facility network of selective public and private facilities providing SRHR services; (8) assessing the service availability, accessibility, readiness and quality of essential SRHR services in selective public and private facilities; (9) tracking the trend and pattern of SRHR service utilisation and case-mix in selective public and private facilities; and (10) creating SRH interest group, developing short course on SRHR programs and research.
