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.

Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2021 Boreal (SMAPVEx-BOREAL):
Improving the performance of L-band Passive Microwave Retrievals of Soil Moisture in the Canadian Boreal Forest.
21SUESSMVE
Current satellites capable of detecting soil moisture are well validated for low vegetation areas, however, they have less accuracy in forested regions such as the boreal forest. In this research we will perform a soil moisture measurement campaign in a boreal forest to improve soil moisture estimates from two satellite missions: NASA's SMAP and ESA's SMOS. Our improved soil moisture estimates will be used to update models used by Environment and Climate Change Canada for weather, drought and forest fire prediction.
