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.

Unambiguous biosignature detection platforms for planetary exploration on Mars and the icy moons
19FAMCGA31
Astrobiology and the search for life in our solar system is a major focus of planetary exploration. Life detection instruments available are currently focused on identification of habitable environments or on detection of presence of life; these instruments remain relatively high mass, large in size, and have high energy requirements.
The project aims to further develop two detection platforms for space exploration and optimize these components in an end-to-end space-like mission using analogue environments in the Canadian high Arctic.
