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.

Exploring the use of modular ocean research infrastructure (MORI) to support phytoplankton research
991562
MEOPAR will demonstrate and test the potential of Modular Ocean Research Infrastructure (MORI) for the support of multidisciplinary ocean science. The project Tracer Release Experiment (TReX) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, jointly supported by the Réseau Québec Maritime and the MEOPAR network will be used as a demonstration cruise to explore the potential of MORI for multidisciplinary ocean research. For the upcoming 2022 seasons, two separate cruises in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are being planned as part of TReX to search for and measure the distribution of a tracer that was deliberately introduced into the Gulf of St. Lawrence to study dissolved oxygen supply to subsurface waters in October 2021. Among the expected outcomes are to evaluate MORI as a future model for collaboration across federal departments, academics, and industry, and extend NRC’s interactions with key researchers and organizations who share common interests.
