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.

Protecting nuclear materials and facilities and deterring cyberattacks
7475288 P016781001
This project aims to implement three activities to enhance nuclear security: (1) convene at least six technical and consultancy meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative Working Group that will produce guidance and tools that Member States can use to inform their national decisions to adopt and deploy small modular reactors; (2) convene the 4th International Conference on the Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear and Radioactive Material; and (3) convene the 3rd International Conference on Computer Security in the Nuclear World.

Strengthening the resilience of small modular reactors against cybersecurity threats
7475290 P017242001
This project with the International Atomic Energy Agency will bring together research institutions to collaborate on a Coordinated Research Project to assess and advance computer security for small modular reactors. Key activities include: (1) convening at least nine research coordination meetings, consultancy meetings, and expert missions; (2) production of reports on cybersecurity for small modular reactors by each participating research institution; (3) production of fifteen scientific papers and tools on cybersecurity for small modular reactors; and (4) publishing one technical document on cybersecurity for small modular reactors to provide guidance to Member States.

The supremely deep trans-Neptunian object survey: A critical test of planet formation models
25JWGO4A16
This project will use JWST/NIRCam to perform the deepest survey for Kuiper Belt Objects ever. This will result in a Kuiper Belt size distribution down to ~1 km in size, the size of impactor responsible for the craters on Pluto. By tying the size distribution to the cratering record, this survey will provide extremely strong constraints on the formation processes experienced by Kuiper Belt Objects, and provide a direct measure of the timescale of rheological processes occurring on the surfaces of Pluto and Charon.
