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.

Team Grant: Improving Diagnosis for Rare Disease Patients
177036
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Generate high quality evidence required to optimize the RD diagnosis pathway in Canada;
• Evaluate the health outcomes associated with RDs via the ‘genomics first’ diagnosis pathway compared to the current approach (i.e., genomic testing performed later);
• Determine the economic impact to the health care system for the ‘genomics first’ diagnosis pathway and compare to current diagnostic pathways for RDs;
• Evaluate the socioeconomic and psychological impacts of delays in the diagnosis on patients/families with RDs from a diversity of population groups and communities in Canada using the ‘genomics first’ diagnostic paradigm as a comparator; and,
• Mobilize knowledge to facilitate the implementation, scale and spread of best practices for diagnosing RDs in Canada.

Team Grant: Improving Health and Admin Data and Monitor Rare Diseases
178409
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Demonstrate the feasibility of tracking rare diseases and conducting prospective studies in this field within the Canadian health care systems;
• Increase cross-jurisdictional collaboration and data sharing amongst hospitals;
• Prospectively assess the impact of mortality, co-morbidities, hospital usage, other health system usage, and total direct cost of rare diseases to the health care system; and,
• Facilitate the establishment of patient registries for potential enrollment by a diversity of people in Canada in clinical trials and to enable patient and caregiver peer-to-peer contact.
