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 «A Dual Frequency, Fully Polarimetric, Digitally Beam Formed, Multichannel SAR Receiver Exciter» aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in the field of space-based radar imagery. The technology would allow the collection of larger amounts of radar image data in two frequency bands. This data would be processed faster and delivered to ground-based users at supercomputer speeds thereby yielding clearer and more detailed images. This technology would be the core element of UrtheCast's planned 16 satellite constellation.

This project entitled ""On-Board Autonomous Cross-Cueing of EO Sensor Systems for Maritime Domain Awareness and Tasking Optimization"" has the objective to develop a unique space-borne on-board autonomous cross-cueing and collection tasking system, allowing for optimized high-resolution optical image acquisition yields and downlink capacity utilizations. The operational applications for such a system would be low-latency ship detection and identification reporting, and cloud-free target imaging.

This project entitled ""Dual L and X Band Active Planar Array Antenna for Space-based Radar"" aims to develop the design of a new Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) antenna capable of transmitting and receiving on both X and L bands simultaneously with a single aperture. This will include building a prototype subpanel to validate the performance. The targeted application for this technology is for a SAR payload deployed on the International Space Station.
