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.

Understanding the dispersion of microplastics in the Fraser River and the Strait of Georgia through field sampling and numerical modeling

Agreement Number:

1029475

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The Project combines field sampling over two years in the Fraser River and the Strait of Georgia along with the Recipient and the NRC developing numerical models at different scales to understand microplastics fate from source to sinks in these water systems. Standard protocols will be developed for sampling along with methods for analysis of microplastics in aquatic environments. The sampling data will establish a database for microplastic lateral and vertical distribution and their temporal evolution. Microplastic hotspots will be identified. The field sampling results will feed into numerical simulations tracking microplastic particles in realistic flow fields and will also provide data for validating the numerical model assumptions. The numerical tools will be used in a complementary way to predict the fate of microplastics under realistic scenarios. The field and simulated data will contribute to creating a decision support system for informing policy makers and environmental organizations.
