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.

ARIADNE: platform for Accelerated and pRecisIon pAndemic Diagnostics and iNfection hEalth

Agreement Number:

1024053

Duration: from Nov 1, 2024 to Oct 31, 2027
Description:

The Small teams Big Ideas project aims to address critical gaps in sepsis management by developing ARIADNE, a rapid, integrated point-of-care diagnostic platform. It integrates NRC's microfluidic technology with novel gene circuit-based molecular sensors, facilitated by machine learning algorithms for biomarker refinement. The project spans four phases: target identification and sensor technology development, target validation and integration of microfluidics and sensor technology, testing and performance optimization of prototype and clinical validation of prototype. The platform promises automated, real-time molecular stratification of sepsis severity and immune response subtypes, crucial for personalized care in hospital settings. ARIADNE’s design emphasizes portability, affordability, and ease of use, like rapid antigen tests but with the sensitivity of PCR, enabling decentralized deployment without relying on cold chain logistics.
