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.

Validation of Accuracy of Bladder Cancer Diagnostic Test Using Biomarkers and AI/ML Algorithms

Agreement Number:

1013787

Duration: from Dec 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

Bladder cancer is the 6th most common cancer in men and the 17th most common cancer in women globally. Early diagnosis of bladder cancer is very important as it is associated with a higher survival rate, for both men and women. There is currently no clinically relevant detection test for bladder cancer. The goal of the Firm's bladder cancer project is to develop a highly accurate test that can detect clinically significant bladder cancer using machine learning and our extracellular vesicle (EV) detection platform. Similar to our successful prostate project we will first validate our selected bladder cancer biomarkers and then incorporate relevant clinical features using machine learning algorithms to create a risk score of disease.
