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.

Newfoundland and Labrador Contribution Agreement for the Unsheltered Homelessness and Encampments Initiative
The Unsheltered Homelessness and Encampments Initiative will address unsheltered homelessness and encampments by providing funding and coordinating with other orders of government to increase housing supply, affordability, and improve access to vital services. To accomplish this, Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada is working with provinces, territories and municipalities on the delivery of this initiative to maximize alignment, select communities and confirm commitments to support and fund community-level efforts.

Reduced gravity flights to study Discrete Element Method for Lunar rovers
23FACONB37
The scientific research objective of this project is the study and the prediction of Lunar rover mobility, which occurs on mildly cohesive granular materials in reduced gravity, through Discrete Element Method (DEM) modeling of spherical and non-spherical particles from first principles. The research objectives of this project are to a) develop a set of granular materials, from spherical glass beads and paired beads, that exhibit Lunar-relevant cohesion properties, b) characterize the effect of Lunar-g on wheel-soil interactions with these sphere-based granular materials, and model these effects directly using Discrete Element Method (DEM) and c) Investigate the suitability of emulating reduced-g interactions by using reduced-density materials in 1-g, for spherical and non-spherical particles.
