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.

Assimilation of Simulated and Real SWOT Observations in the Northwest Atlantic
21SUESASRS
The ocean currents of the Northwest Atlantic show a substantial variability. Accurate forecast systems need to support a range of applications such as emergency response, search and rescue and, transportation. However, the extent to which forecasts are accurate is limited by the presently available satellite observations. SWOT mission may improve this situation, provided the data can be assimilated adequately. We will use SWOT and other satellite data to provide improved forecasts for the Canadian East Coast, using a numerical computer model. New developments in this project will be directly transferrable to the ECCC Prediction System.

Improving Estimates of Evapotranspiration and Land Surface Relative Humidity Using Satellite-Derived Soil Moisture and Vegetation Optical Depth from SMAP-SMOS and Land Surface Temperature from Sentinel-3
21SUESIELH
In this project, we will adapt this model to satellite land dryness observations, allowing us to estimate evapotranspiration across Canada and globally, and investigate physical mechanisms inducing drier climate.
