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.

Health System Impact Fellowships - PostDoc Central Canada 2-year
190142
The Health System Impact Fellowship objectives are to:
• Support impact-oriented career paths and elevate the career readiness of doctoral trainees and post-doctoral researchers studying health services and policy research (HSPR) (or related fields) by supporting embedded research opportunities within health system organizations (e.g., public, private for-profit, not-for-profit, and Indigenous health organizations) outside of the traditional university environment, with enriched competency development (e.g., leadership, project management) and opportunities for mentorship and networking.
• Expand and enrich the traditional doctoral and post-doctoral training environment by engaging health system organizations in preparing a cadre of emerging leaders - inclusive of those from equity-denied communities and those who have historically faced systemic barriers in the research ecosystem, including, but not limited to, those marginalized by gender, Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis), communities impacted by racism, persons with disabilities, and members of 2SLGBTQI+ communities – for impact-oriented careers in academic and health system organizations; and
• Provide health system organizations with direct opportunities to realize and harness the benefits that research-trained individuals can bring to such organizations for rapid learning, improvement and evidence-informed decision-making that advances health system improvements.
