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.

Heat Source Map in Wildifre Conditions
1036985
The project aims to enhance machine perception so it can reliably distinguish between an actual wildfire and harmless heat sources such as hot rocks, barbecues, hot tubs, or vehicles. Making this distinction is critical to ensure water or fire suppressant is applied only where needed, minimizing waste and preventing unnecessary damage.

Phage Susceptibility Testing (PST) with Microfluidics
1036567
Antimicrobial resistance is a top 10 global health threat and innovations are required to combat a silent pandemic expected to cause more deaths than cancer by 2050. A leading candidate is the use of the oldest natural enemy of bacteria—their own viruses called bacteriophages or phages. There are no specific clinical criteria for bacteriophage susceptibility and testing with routine methods is cumbersome and manual. This Project proposes the use of a microfluidic device to screen bacteriophages for E. coli, Staphylococcus (including methicillin-resistant S. aureus), and Pseudomonas (including P. aeruginosa). This device expands on Sci-Bot technology using two fluorescent detectors for a screen of up to 30 phages in as little as 3 hours, to a tailored digital microfluidic chamber allowing for single droplet analysis, titration, and synergy. This builds on work with HHT and CRAFT colleagues and will be expanded to an NRC and Innovate UK collaboration on phage production.
