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.

This grant will support the analysis of data obtained in Cycle 05 (and GT06) with AstroSat, to study star formation in the Coma cluster of galaxies. AstroSat provides unique, high spatial resolution imaging in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Because the dominant contribution to ultraviolet emission in galaxies is from high-mass, short-lived stars, this light traces recent star formation. AstroSat enables us, for the first time, to identify how this star formation is distributed throughout nearby galaxies and to distinguish star formation from other sources of ultraviolet emission. This project will allow Canadian scientists to make a transformative study of the Coma cluster, establishing whether or not the large scale environment influences the nature of star formation in galaxies, a longstanding problem in astrophysics.

UNDERSTANDING MICROGRAVITY-INDUCED BONE LOSS THROUGH IN VIVO SIMULATED MICROGRAVITY EXPERIMENTS
Following a space mission, astronauts experience severe bone thinning and increased risks of fracture when back on Earth. This anomaly is due to microgravity exposure. The aim of this study is to reproduce and expose fish larvae to a simulated microgravity on Earth, and to analyse the effects on the cells of the skeleton. Fish bones strongly resemble human bones in structure. They utilize similar cell types to secrete, mineralize and degrade bone matrix, and similar signaling pathways for cell-cell communication. Thus, fish are a good model to understand the causes underlying the microgravity-induced bone fragility observed in astronauts
