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.

Agreement:

The Digital Mouse – a digital twin of behavioral indices of neurodegeneration and associated metabolic determinants for explainable in silico therapy design.

Agreement Number:

1010080

Duration: from Sep 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Digital twin technology is used to model, explain, understand and predict behavior of complex systems in order to make their performance more reliable or to provide an in silico platform for high throughput testing of the effect of different interventions. Models combined under a digital twin umbrella can also be used to study mechanistic phenomena of a disease. While there are extensive data using genetically and environmentally manipulated laboratory mice to model human disease, these data are study-dependent and have yet to interrogate how metabolism dictates outcome and modulates genetic susceptibility. Moreover, there are no in silico models that combine the multiple behavioral outcomes of these in vivo modelling data with the metabolome. The lack of a murine digital twin is a major missing link in intelligent design of therapeutic strategies for complex diseases. The driving hypothesis of this project is that a digital mouse developed through optimized AI approaches and extensive, available biological data can provide a framework to support the design of evidence-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. The main outcome of this project will be an in silico reconstruction and simulation of the dependence of behavior, as a measure of neurodegeneration, on the lipidome and its application in corrective intervention development. The proposed digital mouse will be built using novel AI algorithms and unique, extensive, and longitudinal murine datasets (from birth to death) made available through collaboration.
