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.

SPA2 SPleen Activity in SPace Anemia

Agreement Number:

25ISS24-4

Duration: from Aug 15, 2025 to Mar 31, 2031
Description:

Astronauts return from space with anemia. The mechanisms causing anemia are not known. During long space missions to the Moon or Mars, astronaut must stay safe from severe anemia. The SPleen Activity in SPace Anemia (SPA2) aims to address outstanding questions on the mechanism of space anemia. SPA2 will test two (2) key hypotheses:
1) The spleen is altered by prolonged exposure to space; and
2) Space anemia is caused by extravascular hemolysis in the spleen.
SPA2 will measure changes in spleen size, shape, and structure using magnetic resonance and ultrasonography. Then, SPA2 will measure hemolysis and hemolysis markers using comprehensive clinical and laboratory techniques.

Development of a Cloud-Based Proof-of-Concept for an LLM-based Clinical Decision Intelligence System

Agreement Number:

1034798

Duration: from Aug 15, 2025 to Mar 4, 2027
Description:

This project will develop a cloud-based proof-of-concept for a Clinical Decision Intelligence system powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), initially focused on cardiovascular applications with potential expansion to other medical specialties. The system will extract clinical information from various document formats, map entities to standardized medical terminologies, and leverage a knowledge graph for contextualized decision support. The prototype will demonstrate interoperability with health data standards while achieving specified performance benchmarks for accuracy, latency, and clinical relevance in cardiology workflows. Success will establish technical feasibility for future commercialization of clinical decision intelligence tools
