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.

Innovative Strategies for Non-Viral Generation of iPSC-Derived CAR-T Therapies
1031592
The NRC has created human amniotic fluid-derived iPSCs (HAF-iPSCs) to produce functional T cells for adoptive therapies. This Project aims to validate and optimize the differentiation of HAF-iPSCs into CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, evaluating their performance against established iPSC lines. To facilitate evaluation of therapeutic potential, an in vitro microcontact printing platform will be developed for high-throughput characterization of iPSC-T cells' ligand binding responses and cytokine release profiles. Additionally, the Project will explore using self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) and NRC’s lipid nanoparticle technology to deliver CARs, targeting BCMA for blood cancers and EGFR for solid tumors, ensuring stable expression and functionality across various cell lines. These efforts seek to create off?the-shelf iPSC-derived CAR-T cells with predictable therapeutic response and means to screen their functional profiles.
