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.

Improved treatment options for children with Dravet syndrome
925086
Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a treatment-resistant Early-onset Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy, severely impairing development. Identification and characterization of underlying SCN1A mutations will dictate drug screening strategies, utilizing a CHEO-curated library of blood-brain-penetrant FDA-approved drugs. This bench-to-bedside collaboration (NRC/CHEO) will establish a translational pipeline towards personalized precision medicine for children with DS.

Examining peak potency and harvest timing in Cannabis sativa using synchrotron 3D chemical imaging
926006
In cannabis, specialized structures on flowers produce unique compounds with medicinal importance. This project will investigate the physical and chemical landscape of these surface structures through the application of 3D imaging and synchrotron light technologies, revealing how the broad range of medicinal compounds are sequestered on cannabis flowers.

Development of Novel Maneuverability Capability for Small Satellites Using Aerodynamic Forces
925149
The capability of small satellites have advanced in the last decade into mission capable assets. Without propulsion systems, they lack maneuverability to exploit advantages as constellations. It is proposed to evaluate the feasibility using aerodynamic forces generated in the low earth orbit to improve maneuverability of small satellites.
