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.

eDNA analysis and method validation plans

Agreement Number:

1027369

Duration: from Feb 10, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The proposed project involves conducting eDNA analysis on samples collected for sterilization method validation for eDNA collection under ice. In addition, the project aims to prepare Prairie Scientific's existing eDNA laboratory for ISO 17025:2017 accreditation. This accreditation process will ensure that the laboratory’s methods and practices meet international standards for quality and reliability of the produced results. The project will include development of a training program for staff, validating methods, developing a quality management system, and preparing for an internal audit. Ultimately, the goal is to improve laboratory performance and gain recognition for the laboratory’s competence in eDNA analysis.
