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.

Iraqi Signals School Refurbishment
7419738 P008529001
This project involves a series of upgrades to the Iraqi Army School of Military Communications (IASMC) located in the Taji Military Complex (TMC) north of Baghdad, Iraq in order to enhance their battlefield communication capabilities and in turn increase the overall operational effectiveness of the Iraqi Army. The project will provide an array of upgrades to existing power generation capabilities, provide new electronic tools, computer systems, and buildings to further expand the school’s capabilities to teach and train battlefield communications skills across the Iraqi Army.
The implementation of this project will increase the number and quality of communications operators the IASMC can train in a calendar year. This increase in capability will allow Iraq’s military commanders to exercise greater command and control on the battlefield, support a greater capacity for joint military operations, and increase the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)’s effectiveness at neutralizing terrorist networks.

Replacement of Large Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites used for Earth mapping, surveillance and monitoring can take more than a decade and is very expensive. An alternative would consist of using a constellation of several identical small and inexpensive satellites, making the satellite easy to reconfigure and to replace.
The project objective is to design a mission consisting of a formation of four small satellites (CubeSats) meeting a SAR mission's requirements, demonstrating that it is possible to meet these requirements with small satellite platforms compared to large ones. There are many benefits to the use of small satellites, including shortened development times and lower mission costs. These satellites provide inexpensive platforms to test new technologies in space, and they enable the use of formations and constellations of satellites.

3D printing of metal and biomaterials using freeze casting in reduced gravity
19FAALBB36
The collapsing of soft material is a challenging issue for the earth's gravity additive manufacturing process of soft tissues or material (i.e. building a component in layers by depositing material). The main objective of this project is to develop a platform for a reduced gravity environment that can assess a considered additive manufacturing process (metal/biomaterials) for an optimum outcome with minimal defects while simultaneously performing instant measurements of surface energy and surface tension of a solid substrate and a liquid, respectively.
The knowledge of the change in the volume and density of the solidified material with the technology to quantify surface forces is a scientific innovation for numerous applications pertinent to future space missions. The same platform can be easily modified to test the ability of the in-house developed liquid material for 3D printing. The successful implementation of this project will comment on the feasibility to use space travel as a revenue source through the manufacturing of biomedical components which are difficult to manufacture with earth's gravity.
