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.

RetinalAI
1029116
This project focuses on creating an advanced automated retinal image analysis platform for Canada’s healthcare system. Using cutting-edge deep learning techniques and multimodal large language models, the platform will analyze 3D OCT scans to detect retinal diseases and conditions. By incorporating a robust human-in-the-loop validation process, the system ensures highly accurate and reliable insights for clinicians. This innovation aims to reduce diagnostic delays, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the efficiency of retinal disease management in clinical practice.

Biofilter 2.0
1029153
New Earth Solutions is looking to build off our observations in previous research indicating that some populations of microbes are more efficient at removing VOC's than others. With these populations of microbes identified our intention is to manufacture and inoculate them into our biofiltration technology for improved air filtration performance. With improved performance we believe we can achieve improved air quality with smaller systems, thus decreasing the upfront cost to our customer and increasing wide scale adoption.
