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.

Promoting Greater Access to University for Girls
7419096 P007271002
The initiative aims to improve the academic performance, leadership and self-determination of high school girls in the remote region of Benishangul-Gumuz in Ethiopia. It helps them develop their academic capacity for higher education. Project activities include: (1) increasing community and familial encouragement of girls' enrollment in formal education; (2) improving academic performance, leadership abilities and autonomy of girls; (3) enhancing regional, zonal and district-level governance, administration and delivery of gender-equitable education for girls; (4) supporting the enhancement of academic, social and soft skills for adolescent girls; (5) strengthening the capacity of teachers and educational institutions to deliver quality and gender-sensitive education; and (6) adopting a holistic and transformative approach to addressing barriers to girls’ higher education, including through community engagement. With the additional COVID-19 funding, the project aims to reach 131,286 students (70,609 young men and 60,677 young women); 3,232 teachers (2,290 men and 942 women); and 235 school administrative officials (150 men; 85 women). The project benefits a total of 673,765 indirect beneficiaries, which include 656,430 students’ parents; 16,160 teachers; and 1,175 school administrative officials.

The environmental and techno-economic assessments of carbon conversion technologies
951760
A comprehensive Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework will be developed, validated and made available to the research community. This framework will integrate open source tools to evaluate carbon conversion technologies based on three criteria:
•Scientific and technical value of the proposed technology, morespecifically proposed novel materials for CO2 conversion should besupported by high quality peer-reviewed scientific publications;
•Economic impact of the proposed technology including product(s)unit cost(s); and
•GHG impact (Global Warming Potential/GWP) using LCAmethods.
The proposed framework will provide tools to evaluate the cost and GHG impact of each CO2 conversion pathways and identify critical development gaps allowing for increasing TRL in the future. The team will also build the back end (database, tools and webserver) and front end (user interface) to support the proposed integrated platform. The Recipient will work in
collaboration with the University of Toronto and the University of Alberta on this collaborative project with the NRC.

Three County Geographical Genealogy (GeoGen) Mapping Project
2021-0116
This project involves a partnership to conserve a full set of the Ambrose F. Church maps (1864–1888), showing 18 counties of Nova Scotia. The current project involves the first five maps. Designed for topographical reference, the maps also include head-of-household names and precise locations for all homes in late 19th-century Nova Scotia.
The surviving maps are small in number and mostly deteriorating. Following conservation and preservation, they can be digitized and linked (to census data, genealogical information, other map overlays, etc.) and extended across time. The result will be a huge asset for Canadians researching family history in Nova Scotia, and a major resource for social history scholars.

Iliuqpik Project—Inuvialuit Game Council Traditional Knowledge Repository
2021-0106
The Illaiqpik Project will be directed by the Inuvialuit Game Council (IGC) and administered by the Inuvialuit Traditional and Local Knowledge Coordinator at the Joint Secretariat.
The IGC uses Inuvialuit traditional knowledge (in the form of oral histories, audio interviews, transcriptions, maps and reports) for much of its decision making, and currently there is little capacity to store and organize the existing information.
The purpose of this project is to collect and organize Inuvialuit-owned traditional knowledge interviews and oral histories, and build an in-house repository for the various Inuvialuit groups/co-management boards to access for decision making, and to protect Inuvialuit cultural heritage.
