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.

Financial Literacy Pilot Project
GV230320
Through this 40-month project, Interval House will develop and put in place a Financial Literacy Pilot Program to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the need to provide financial literacy knowledge to at-risk, vulnerable, and economically challenged women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). To do so, the project will include consulting with an Advisory Committee and low-income women who have experienced IPV to design the curriculum of the program and delivering the Financial Literacy Pilot Program. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice and provide recommendations for future programming. Interval House will develop and implement a Community Engagement Plan to share information on the promising practice and the findings of the Final Report with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Interval House will strengthen the Financial Literacy Promising Practice by 1) adapting and refining the curriculum based on Phase 1 evaluation findings and participant feedback; 2) implementing an online version of the updated program; and 3) evaluating and validating the adapted model to confirm its effectiveness.

1012490
Novel has developed a novel platform for producing plasmids (NBX). Cloning is the process used to create a bacterial vector containing a gene of interest. There are several industry-standard procedures available for cloning, including restriction digestion-ligation-based cloning, Gibson assembly, and Golden Gate assembly. Once complete, the cloned plasmid is introduced into a bacterial cell (NBX) using a procedure called transformation. It is important to determine an optimized recipe for the transformation mixture based on the cloning mixture and heat shock parameters based on the format of the reaction tube. The trainee will work on these aspects, gaining experience in cloning/assembly methods transformation methods and recovery methods.
