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.

Early detection of cognitive decline using epigenetic biomarkers in peripheral blood
991333
Aging is the predominant risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Recently, DNA methylation has been used to estimate the brain age and the brain age acceleration (defined as the difference between its biological and chronological ages) has been linked to increased risk of AD and other dementias. It remains an open question whether the brain’s accelerated aging can be inferred from DNA methylation obtained from easily accessible tissues such as peripheral blood. The main objective of this project is to identify peripheral blood epigenetic biomarkers for brain age, AD and other dementias and develop a predictive machine learning model for evaluating disease risk. Such a predictor would enable us to identify those people at greatest risk of developing the disease earlier, when disease modifying therapies are deemed most effective, reducing the need for long-term care and increasing quality of life.
