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.

Developing Advanced Machine Learning Models for Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease

Agreement Number:

1015589

Duration: from Feb 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

This project involves the development of specialized machine learning methods, leveraging a comprehensive dataset from healthy patients. The primary objective is to construct models capable of analyzing smaller patient populations, facilitating early, personalized diagnoses that are accurate across diverse subpopulations. The proposed methodology includes exploring transfer learning, a powerful machine learning technique that harnesses knowledge from one task to enhance performance on related tasks. Specifically, we aim to employ precise learning models for the development of sex and race-optimized early diagnostic methods for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
