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.

This project entitled ""Imperator FMS (IFMS) - Flight Management and Control System Software Application for unmanned aerial vehicle & small satellites"" is to design and develop flight management and safety systems to support redundancy and fail-safe measures for small unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites. When completed, this new system will provide additional monitoring of potential failures and allow spacecraft operators or a redundant system to take corrective measures.

The Research component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
More specifically, this project entitled ""High Performance S/C-Band Transceiver"" has the objective to design and prototype small form factor, low power S/C-Band transceiver for
communication with micro to nano satellite systems. Currently, there are limited capabilities covered by existing communication systems available on the market, whether domestic or foreign. With growing
need for bandwidth and systems miniaturization, requirement arises to develop and provide suitable new
technology to support high speed communications in these systems.
