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.

Igneous, Secondary Alteration and Coating Contributions to Rocks at Jezero Crater to Infer Integrated History and Past Habitability
25EXPROSS2
Rock chemistries and micro-textures resolvable by the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) instrument onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover allow integrated rock histories to be resolved. The science objectives of this proposal focus on different rock components, including (1) igneous starting materials, (2) secondary salts and alteration products, (3) dust and coatings that accumulate at the Mars surface. Key to understanding the history is the Mineralogical make up, grain size and shape, rock cements cementing agents. This project addresses these possible contributions (dust, igneous precursor, and secondary alteration) to rock compositions analyzed by the Mars 2020 rover in Jezero Crater by micro-textural geochemical and mineralogical data. These studies will aid in achieving the Mars 2020 mission goals of assessing the Jezero rocks for potential habitability and to aid in sample selection.

ACCESS : Acessing spaCE through Private miSSions
25EXPROSS3
Astronauts return from space with anemia but the mechanisms causing anemia are not known. During longer space missions to the Gateway, Moon or Mars, astronauts must stay safe from severe anemia. This project aims to address outstanding questions on the mechanism of space anemia. Distinctively, this project will access astronauts taking part in both private as well as space administration missions. Using cryopreserved whole blood samples collected from three international space missions, this project will investigate the subpopulation of hemolyzed red blood cells, hemoglobin gene-switching, specific red blood cell anomalies, and the dose-dependent effects of radiation on space anemia, all using state-of-the-art methods often applied for the first time to space samples.

Enhanced MHD Modeling of Space Weather with Application to Lunar Environment
25EXPROSS5
The Artemis and Lunar Gateway programs have near-term objectives that involve conducting science/research unique to their deep space location, including investigation of the heliosphere and solar wind, space weather, as well as the Lunar plasma environment. Additionally, Canadian Space Strategy objectives include improving the understanding of solar storms and their effects on astronauts and terrestrial infrastructure. The current project aligns with these priorities and involves international collaboration via active missions at the Moon and Mars and merging of spacecraft observational data from THEMIS-Artemis and MAVEN with magnetohydrodynamic simulations using advanced data assimilation/machine learning to better predict and understand the solar wind and Lunar and Martian environments. Outcomes are expected to improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on human activity at Earth and in space.
