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 43rd Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Scientific Assembly is a conference with the objective of promoting scientific research in space on an international level, with emphasis on the exchange of results, information and opinions. This conference, hosted as a hybrid event (both in-person and virtual) in Sydney, Australia from January 28 to February 4, 2021, provides a forum for the discussion of problems that may affect scientific space research. Postsecondary students attending this conference are offered a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge of space science, develop their international networks, and present their research at a well-established and prestigious forum to a respected audience. Under the Canadian Student Participation in the COSPAR Scientific Assembly Announcement of Opportunity (AO), and as part of its commitment to support the development of the next generation of space professionals in Canada, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) awarded grants to graduate students (master's and doctoral) to participate in this assembly. The grant provided financial support to the student to cover the registration fees associated with their virtual participation in COSPAR.
