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.

Development of a detailed computational kinetic model of glutathione metabolism
945020
Glutathione is found in most cells and tissues with an extremely important role in protecting healthy as well as cancer cells against toxic injury. The goal is to create a predictable model of glutathione metabolism in healthy cells and cancer cells in order to provide better understanding of its role in disease progression.

Discerning Mechanisms of Light Harvesting via Quantum Dynamics and X-ray Spectroscopy
945021
The unique, world-leading Ultrafast X-ray Science Facility at the University of Ottawa, will combine the atomic selectivity and high spatial resolution of X-rays with the ultrafast time-resolution of femtosecond lasers. This opens up entirely new avenues of research for the study of light-induced molecular processes, of which solar energy conversion is a key example. Nature is not static: in the 21st century, there will be a need to have an understanding of Nature which goes beyond the traditional structural studies which dominated the 20th century. For example, how specific atomic motions lead to highly efficient electronic charge transfer requires an ultrafast, dynamical understanding of Nature. The aim is to uncover the fundamental rules governing these ultrafast charge transfer processes by combining state-of-the-art Experiment with Theory. This understanding will lead to a completely new approach to the rational design of solar energy conversion devices – one that is based on the fundamental ultrafast dynamics of the charge transfer process itself.
