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.

Refining NBx for industrial performance
1015922
Novel NBx Platform significantly improves productivity in plasmid DNA manufacturing, securing patents for engineered bacteria. Beyond enhancing productivity, this organism produces higher-quality material with fewer host-related impurities, benefiting various bio-based products, especially protein-based ones like growth factors.
The Human Growth Factor market, relying on E.coli, faces challenges of low yields and batch failures. Novel's bacteria demonstrates lower endotoxin production and up to 20X productivity in plasmid DNA manufacturing compared to E.coli. Building on this success, Novel aims to create a disruptive manufacturing platform for EGF and FGF growth factors, anticipating these advantages will transfer to other bioproducts.
