1.4  Grant Amounts

1.4.1  Determination of Grants and Indexation

For the purposes of paragraph 41-30(a) of the Act, the RSP Grant Amounts are determined in accordance with the method set out in paragraph 1.4.5 of these Guidelines.

Note: The RSP Funding Pool is to be indexed in the same way as amounts are indexed under Part 5-6 of the Act.

1.4.5  How Grant Amounts are Determined

    (1)  Subject to any adjustment that may be made under paragraph 1.4.40, the RSP Grant Amount paid to a HEP for the Grant Year is the sum of:

          (a) the HEP's RSP Base Grant Amount calculated under paragraph 1.4.15 and any changes made through the application of the transitional safety net calculated under paragraph 1.4.20 (if applicable), and

          (b) the HEP's COVID-19 Supplementary Grant Amount calculated under paragraph 1.4.30 (if applicable),

 as rounded in accordance with paragraph 1.4.35.

1.4.10  Percentage Share of Competitive and Engagement Income

The formula for calculating each HEP's relative percentage share of competitive and engagement income is as follows:

COMPETITIVEi  =  Share of Category 1 income for HEP i calculated according to the following formula:

ENGAGEMENTi   =
                 Share of Category 2, Category 3 and Category 4 income for HEP i calculated according to the following formula:

where:
y             =  year for which the grant is given
y1,y2         =  the most recent (y1) and second most recent (y2) years for which data is available
i             =  HEP 1 to n, where n is the total number of HEPs
j             =  HEP 1 to n, where n is the total number of HEPs

1.4.15  RSP Base Grant Amounts

The formula for calculating each HEP's RSP Base Grant Amount for the Grant Year is:

BGAi,y = (COMPETITIVEi × Ay × 47%) + (ENGAGEMENTi × Ay × 53%)

where:
COMPETITIVEi  =  the percentage share of competitive income determined under paragraph 1.4.10 for HEP i
ENGAGEMENTi   =  the percentage share of engagement income determined under paragraph 1.4.10 for HEP i
BGAi,y        =  RSP Base Grant Amount
