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.

Title: Development and Demonstration of Capability to re-Project and Merge Optical Data to Fully Calibrated Slant Range SAR. Application specialists who wish to combine radar and optical data face the dilemma of deciding how to co-register their data prior to merging or integration. The traditional approach to merging radar data with optical data is to convert the radar data to a nominal projection, followed by a second correction for topographic effects. This approach has a number of disadvantages. The main drawback is caused by the modification of the original data due to resampling and re-projection. In this proposal, we propose a methodology by which SAR data can be calibrated for slope effects, followed by a mapping of the optical data into the geometry of the SAR data. This procedure enables the combination of optical data with unaltered SAR data, in the belief that merging optical data with radiometrically scaled and phase preserved SAR data will significantly improve classification results.

ManitobaSAT-1 CubeSat (3U)
17CCPMAN09
ManitobaSAT-1 will study how space conditions affect the composition of asteroids and the Moon so that researchers on Earth can better understand those effects when studying meteorites. This mission will also help better understand the origins of asteroids when the data will be combines with the data from asteroid sample-return missions, such as the OSIRIS-Rex mission.
ManitobaSAT-1 will be developed in collaboration with the University of Winnipeg, York University, Interlake School Division, and Magellan Aerospace.
