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.

Grant Agreement for the Innovative Solutions Canada Program, Project - Novel Electrochemical Sensor for Rapid and Reliable Detection of Domoic Acid at the Point-of-Need
ISC-17185-Ph1
Domoic acid (DA) is a significant concern to consumers of marine foods, given acute poisoning can be life threatening, and with impact of low doses being cumulative over time, can cause cognitive disability and illness. At present, the only existing option for biotoxin testing in Canada is to send samples to a CFIA laboratory. Sensoreal aims to develop a novel microfluidic integrated electrochemical sensing device for the detection of DA in water, phytoplankton and shellfish. The proposed method involves a simple sample preparation method that does not require cumbersome instruments and results to extract and purify DA from simple (water) to complex (shellfish) samples by anyone. The device will be cost-effective and portable, making it ideal for the point-of-need detection of DA for water monitoring and food safety needs.

Grant Agreement for the Innovative Solutions Canada Program, Project -Fluorescent Aptamer Assay for Rapid Detection of Domoic acid in Marine Waters and Shellfish Homogenates
ISC-17154-Ph1
Domoic acid (DA) is a significant concern to consumers of marine foods, given acute poisoning can be life threatening, and with impact of low doses being cumulative over time, can cause cognitive disability and illness. At present, the only existing option for biotoxin testing in Canada is to send samples to a CFIA laboratory. Cytodiagnostics aims to develop a simple, rapid, and field-ready assay to address the current market issue. The proposed sensor is an aptamer-based fluorescent assay with semi-quantitative output for estimation of domoic acid in marine water and tissue homogenate samples. The field-ready device will be an easy to use test that requires minimal processing and is robust enough to resist environmental challenges.

Leveraging Digital Monitoring for Enhanced Anti-Cyber Crime and Counter-Terrorism in Bangladesh
7456047 P013347001
The primary objective of this project is to strengthen Bangladesh's ability to anticipate, monitor and mitigate the risk of online extremist activities aimed at disrupting societal trust and security. In the context of Bangladesh's 2024 elections and the heightened threat of cyber activities from extremist factions, the intent is to monitor violent extremist activity in the democratic process and their aftermath from digital disruptions. Through an in-house Digital Harms Monitor (DHM), SecDev will produce structured open-source intelligence (OSINT) products — including alerts, analyses, and reports — to facilitate early detection and promote heightened situational awareness concerning digital violent extremist and cyber crime activities in Bangladesh. SecDev will leverage this reporting for the purposes of mentoring and capacity-building of civil society and select law enforcement entities. This direct capacity-building will aim to enhance understanding of OSINT products and how to make use of their insights, within an human rights and gender-informed framework.
