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.

Economic Security and Corporate Espionage Network (ECONSEC)
ECONSEC will conduct research on economic security and corporate espionage – with a particular focus on businesses and universities – as a key element of national security, Canadian defence and Canadian prosperity. ECONSEC intends to map and identify this new threat reality and connect The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) with leading experts to inform the policy debate.

Observation and analysis of microplastic distribution in the St. Lawrence River
1033274
Lawrence River will be studied through multi-seasonal and multi-site sampling campaigns, analytical characterization and data integration into the NRC’s COMEX platform to validate its CaMPSim-3D model. The project will quantify the distribution of MNP in the River, identify their main sources, and analyze the influence of hydrodynamics on their transport through seasonal fieldwork and several analytical characterization techniques.
