The data in this tool comes from multiple publicly available Government of Canada sources including Grants and Contributions, Contracts over $10K, the Public Accounts' transfer payments, research funding databases (SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR), and Global Affairs Canada projects. Type in one or more keywords and filter the results by year, department, recipient, program or location to explore the data.
