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 ""Feasibility Study of Multi-Agent Field Analyzer for Space Applications (MAFASA)"" seeks to develop a new analytical technique capable of identifying components from geological samples gathered in the course of a manned or robotic exploration of extraterrestrial bodies such as Mars, the Moon, or an asteroid. The proposed Multi-Agent Field Analyzer for Space Applications (MAFASA) will allow for the detection and identification of organic and inorganic compounds.

This project entitled ""Risk Reduction Activities for the Canadian High-Energy Neutron Spectrometry System II (CHENSS II)"" will perform research and development on a new, improved instrument that will be able to take a more accurate inventory of the energy distribution of neutrons onboard the International Space Station. These measurements will help to understand the levels of radiation astronauts are exposed to on board the International Space Station.
