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.

The effect of long-duration space flight on bone microarchitecture and strength using three-dimensional high resolution imaging.

The effect of long-duration space flight on bone microarchitecture and strength using three-dimensional high resolution imaging.
Our bones continually adapt to support our body weight in a gravity environment. Bones become weaker when everyday stresses are reduced. Astronauts lose bone strenght rapidly while in space due to weightlessness and reduced exercise. The purpose of this study is to understand the time-course of bone strength loss in space. We will use high resolution bone imaging to investigate how long it takes for bone loss to stabilize in space and whether stabilization differs between first-time and repeat flier astronauts. Results will help understand how to ensure astronauts remain healthier on longer-duration missions and the risks of very long spaceflights in the future.
