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.

Human Adaptation to Spaceflight: An Integrated Metabolomic Analysis of ISS Data
24GWROSS1
Participate in NASA’s Human Research Program largest research effort to pursue the first integrated data analysis from 71 astronauts collected over 12 years.
Assess metabolomic biomarkers in blood and urine to identify metabolic signatures linked to long-duration spaceflight.
Using artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches, link metabolomic profiles to individual physiological, environmental, dietary, medical, and exercise data to gain insights into sex-specific adaptative mechanisms, pathogenic pathways, and risk factors of spaceflight.

Around the world in less than two days: observing the spectral phase curve of an ultra-hot Jupiter with JWST/NIRSpec
24JWGO3A03
Using the NIRSpec instrument on the JWST, this project will be monitoring the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76b as it completes a full orbit around its host star to paint an accurate picture of the atmosphere's chemical composition. Ultra-hot Jupiters like WASP-76b feature extreme temperature differences between their permanent day and night sides, which makes the interpretation of observations more complicated. To address this, the planet's full 3D temperature structure and cloud cover will be measured. This will provide a detailed understanding of WASP-76b's atmospheric chemistry and its formation history – ultimately shedding light on the question why ultra-hot Jupiters exist at all.

Fund for responding to loss and damage – institutional support 2025 to 2026
7466565 P015221001
This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to the Fund for responding to loss and damage (FRLD). The FRLD uses these funds and other donors’ funding to provide financial assistance to developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. This includes addressing both economic and non-economic losses caused by extreme weather events and slow-onset events, such as sea-level rise and desertification. The FRLD operates under the guidance of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Project activities of this project include: (1) providing financial assistance to developing countries to help them respond to climate-related emergencies, intermediate or long-term recovery, reconstruction or rehabilitation, and displacement, relocation, or migration caused by temporary and permanent loss and damage. Financial support to developing countries also includes actions to address slow onset events, develop
