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.

This project entitled ""Education and Training Through Cube Satellite Flight and Membership in the QB50 Mission"" is to allow nine students to build a miniaturized satellite for the upcoming QB50 mission. The QB50 mission will measure space weather, which can interfere with communications systems in space and on earth, and the characteristics of re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.

The Thirteenth Canada/Norway Student Sounding Rocket (CaNoRock-13) : is a collaboration between the Andøya Rocket Center and seven Canadian and Norwegian Universities. The Canadian Space Agency's contribution will offer to ten Canadian students a hands-on training involving rocket activities, thus motivating them to pursue graduate study or a career in the aerospace industry. To date, eleven students sounding rocket campaigns have trained 101 Canadian undergraduate students. Canadian Alumni who participated in those campaigns show unprecedented high interest in the aerospace industry and graduate study, some having been employed by companies in the space industry.

International Network of Space-related Programs Integrating Research and Education (CaNoRock - INSPIRE)
This project is a five-year collaboration between seven Canadian and Norwegian Universities and the Andøya Space Centre. It uses undergraduate student rocket activities as a unique hands-on training program which acts as a highly visible magnet to attract these students to space-related graduate studies, and to the aerospace industry.

The funded activities are part of a competition (Canadian Satellite Design Challenge-CSDC 4) in which teams of students from Canadian universities design, build and test CubSats with the goal of having one or several of those satellites be selected for a future space mission and be put into orbit.
The grant has been awarded to support the organization of two workshops which will enable students to develop skills the Canadian space sector needs.
Also the funding will support the student teams to participate in a final design review meeting, a critical phase of the any space project.

Let's Talk Science will launch a project titled “Optimal Environmental Conditions for Life” to engage students and educators in space-related educational opportunities that showcase and celebrate David Saint-Jacques' mission to the International Space Station in 2018. It is a large-scale “citizen-science” action project designed for use in schools across Canada to gather data about environmental conditions for optimal health. This project will involve universities, colleges, teachers' associations, and departments of education. It will allow thousands of young Canadians to build critical skills and conduct research related to life on the International Space Station, with the aim of inspiring them to pursue an education in STEM disciplines.
