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.

Characterization of human amniotic fluid (HAF) iPSC-derived insulin?expressing pancreatic islets
1030622
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs following autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. The promise of a cell-based therapy for T1D was demonstrated over 25 years ago in Edmonton with pancreatic islet transplantation; however, there is still insufficient transplantable material to help everyone living with T1D. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be efficiently differentiated to insulin-expressing cells and these stem cell-derived islets (SC islets) are now showing promising results in clinical trials. However, the cell lines used for these trials are not readily available outside of the industrial setting and all of the commonly used ESCs are subject to restrictive user agreements that makes clinical translation difficult and expensive. As such, there is a need for a publicly available and easily commercializable pluripotent stem cell line that could be rapidly used by any lab or company in Canada to generate a cell replacement therapy for T1D. By the end of the project, the team will understand whether a series of 6 iPSC lines generated by the NRC can efficiently form pancreatic islets and if so, which of these is most efficient at making the cells with best islet function.
