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.

Intelligent User Interfaces and Guidelines for Vulnerable Populations

Agreement Number:

953484

Duration: from Jun 26, 2020 to May 31, 2021
Description:

During the COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery, many health units are moving to virtual care. With this transition there is a risk that vulnerable individuals and communities will be excluded. This not only harms and poses risks for the excluded individuals but the community and country as a whole. Through a collaboration between the Inclusive Design Research Centre and the National Research Council, the project will a) co-design inclusive design guidelines for virtual care systems that address cognitive, age-related and cultural barriers, and b) co-design, develop and test openly licensed software components that enable interface personalization to meet currently unmet interface needs faced by individuals with cognitive, age-related and cultural barriers to participation. These will be integrated into an NRC virtual care platform as a model for the growing virtual care ecosystem.
