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.

Quantum Payload Radiation Impact Assessment for GEO and Deep Space Environments
19FAWATA05
Quantum communication and science tests over large distances have potential applications for secure communication, for higher efficiency super dense coding, for interfacing of future quantum sensors, and for quantum computers. In addition, foundational science will strongly benefit from tests of long-range entanglement as we probe the boundaries of quantum mechanics over ever-increasing distances, as well as at velocities and gravitational potentials not possible on ground.
The objective of this project is testing the suitability of the quantum payload and its components necessary for deep space missions, i.e. geostationary earth orbit (GEO), lunar and even further. The project team will design, build and test components of a quantum payload and verify their status for operating in relevant harsh radiation and thermal environments.
The main outcome of this research will be an advanced technology roadmap and design of the next generation of quantum payloads suitable for global quantum communication networks.

Martian Atmospheric Gas Evolution experiment (MAGE)
19FAYORA13
Methane has been observed in the Martian atmosphere for nearly two decades, yet key questions about the Martian methane cycle remain unanswered. On the Earth, most methane produced is biological and it is therefore a key question of the astrobiology community as to whether the Martian source, likely located deep underground, is similar.
The Martian Atmospheric Gas Evolution (MAGE) experiment will develop the science readiness level (SRL) of a potential contribution to a future landed space mission on Mars to measure the evolution of methane near the surface. It will help us to understand what is producing this gas in the present day and whether that source is biological or geological in origin.
MAGE in based on technology called Integrated Cavity-Enhanced Optical Spectroscopy (ICOS), a sensitive technique that can measure methane at very low concentrations and offers the possibility of making unprecedentedly frequent measurements at sensitivities comparable to the best current techniques.

Novel technology to increase the spatial resolution of WaterSat hyper-spectral imaging by 10 times and simulated flight to validate the spatial and spectral fidelity
19FANBA36
Hyperspectral remote sensing is important for effectively monitoring the fast changing natural environment caused by natural and human factors.
The project aims at demonstrating the potential of an innovative technology that can increase the spatial resolution of the future Canadian WaterSat hyper-spectral mission, thus increasing detection of smaller features on the Earth surface. Successful results can significantly extend its application scope, from water-based applications to water and land applications. It will help Canadian government and industry improve their efficiency and accuracy in environmental monitoring, helping meet national needs for informed decision making, including climate change research and policy making.
