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.

A Novel Method for 3D Tracking of Spinal Curvature using a Non-Invasive 3D Camera and Deep Learning
967258
The aim of this project is to develop vertebra automatic segmentation and identification tools, in two different modalities: (1) pre-operative MRI scans and (2) per-operative surface scans. For (1), we will exploit existing public (open-source) spine MRI/CT datasets to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the task of segmentation. In contrast with existing methods, we will focus on combining local vertebra receptive fields with global spinal structure in a multiscale CNN framework. For (2), the goal is to segment and identify the level of the vertebra in a textured 3D point cloud of the surgical field of view. Since 3D point clouds are unstructured (no regular grid) in nature, we will explore graphical convolutional networks for the task of semantic segmentation.
The pre-operative and per-operative 3D spinal segmentations could then be used to track the spine during the surgery and to assist surgeons in the realignment of the spine.

A novel method for 3D tracking of spinal curvature using a non-invasive 3D camera and deep learning
967258
Conventional surgeries to correct scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, require multiple X-rays to guide the modification of the curvature, exposing patients and OR personnel to ionizing radiation. This project aims to eliminate the need for these x-rays by developing a fast, non-invasive imaging method to guide spinal curvature modifications.
