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.

Description:

A series of missions have captured observations of the lunar surface, which together with analysis of lunar samples and lunar meteorites has led to advancements in our understanding of the origin and geology of the Moon. However, there are still many unanswered questions, such as whether the Moon has a differentiated core and whether there was a period of cataclysmic bombardment.

This project will address key questions related to impact cratering on the Moon, for example, determining what types of rocks and what impact setting(s) provides the most accurate age for a crater. The project will train and equip Canadian students with the skills necessary to participate in future lunar missions. In addition to being important for lunar exploration, an understanding of impact cratering processes and products are important for Earth and other planetary bodies.
