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.

Precision Drug Delivery via Laser-Activated Microfluidic Fibers
1034613
This project aims to develop and validate a novel platform for laser-assisted targeted drug delivery using LMI's proprietary picosecond mid-infrared laser technology. This technology enables precise ablation of tissues and when coupled to a microfluidic drug channel, the optic probe can deliver localized therapeutics with high resolution and minimal invasiveness. LMI holds foundational IP specific to this application covering fiberoptic laser-drug delivery systems in addition to the original core IP portfolio covering the unique laser tissue interaction. The platform will be validated in, phantom tissue, ex vivo and animal models, focusing on applications in high-value organ systems: prostate, brain, lung, and pancreas.
