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.

HostSeq Fellowship
168546
The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Provide postdoctoral trainees in the field of human genetics and bioinformatics with the opportunity to utilize large-scale genomic and clinical data from CGEn’s HostSeq Databank to support their research;
• Generate rapid knowledge using the HostSeq data to contribute to the current COVID-19 response;
• Raise awareness among postdoctoral trainees of the benefits of genomic and health data sharing and best practises, in particular the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets). Support the integration of the FAIR principles in their work and build capacity to enhance pandemic preparedness and other genomic medicine applications;
• Apply an open science approach to ensure that research findings and other outputs are made available, freely and openly, to the scientific community to accelerate research translation and benefits;
• Increase capacity and diversity in health data science leading to the establishment of the required infrastructure to fully realize the benefits of an equitable learning health system, by encouraging a diversity of applicants.
