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.

Agreement:

CASSAVA:PEARL (Canadian Anchor Sites for SAtellite Validation: Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory

Agreement Number:

19FATORA07

Duration: from Sep 22, 2020 to Mar 31, 2025

Description:

The purpose of CASSAVA:PEARL project is to use the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL), a virtual space station on the ground, to provide the next generation of atmospheric scientists with unique training experiences that will equip them with the skills required to keep Canada at the forefront of space research.

The scientific objectives of this project extend from the development of techniques for remote operation and automation of instruments, through improved data analysis methodologies, to the use of PEARL measurements of atmospheric composition, aerosols, and clouds to validate satellite data products. Benefits for Canada will include new expertise in atmospheric measurement techniques and enhanced atmospheric measurement capabilities in the High Arctic.
