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.

SpudNik-1: A CubeSat-based High Resolution Imaging System for Precision Agriculture
17CCPPEI13
SpudNik-1 will develop and test an imaging system for precision agriculture. The system will be able to capture precise soil and crop data (texture, topography, moisture content, weed and disease infestations, crop damage, etc.) as well as verify the effectiveness of herbicide and fungicide applications, monitor physical damage due to insects, inundation, wind and hail, and schedule an irrigation plan. The goal is to develop better monitoring systems to promote greater sustainability.
The University of Prince Edward Island will be collaborating with the Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Russia as well as the Newfoundland based company C-CORE.

IDRSat aims to study how materials degrade in space by looking at how useful construction materials are affected by extreme temperatures, radiation, and space debris in low Earth orbit, and by studying material changes in colour, texture, brittleness, and electrical conductivity. The results of the study could lead to more cost-efficient solutions for the space sector.
The satellite will be completed in collaboration with Saskatchewan Polytechnic, University of Alberta, SED Systems and Innocorps Research Corporation.

Magnétomètre quantique à diamant pour nanosatellites CubeSat
17CCPSHE17
Quantum sensors use the unique and often strange behavior of matter at very small distances to perform ultra-sensitive and robust measurements. The UdeSat project will conduct one of the first demonstrations of a quantum sensor in space. This quantum sensor will use nitrogen-vacancy defects in a tiny piece of diamond to measure the intensity and orientation of the magnetic field in space. Such measurements are useful to study the effect of solar storms on radio communication, GPS or electrical grids, or the flow of magma under Earth's crust, for instance. Quantum technologies, such as this magnetometer, will lead to smaller, more energy efficient, and more sensitive sensors for space application
The CubeSat will be developed in collaboration with the École nationale d'aéronautique in Quebec.
