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.

Using blinking to help us age better: blink-related oscillations for early detection of cognitive decline
1001177
Dementia is a great public health problem, but treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have failed so far, partly because the disease is diagnosed too late for the damage to the brain to reverse. This project aims to validate a new brain health assessment that will identify individuals at risk of developing AD at very early stages using a simple, low-cost method. The assessment will measure the brain's response after eye blinks using a user-friendly electroencephalography (EEG) headset. The project will examine whether the blink-related responses measured with this portable system correlates with an individual's cognitive status, and by re-testing participants after 6, 12, and 24 months, we will determine whether blink-related responses can predict future cognitive decline. This project may result in a new assessment for brain health that may be deployed in primary care settings to help predict cognitive decline and dementia, ensuring more adults age well in place.

Satellite Imaging Toolkit for terrestrial features
1001266
Earth observation with large spatial coverage, high temporal revisits make an attractive option for continuous monitoring of Earth. The objective is to develop a software framework that leverages AI and processing tools to automatically search and discover events or objects of interest. To focus on overcoming the data limitation problem, with an innovative approach that combines few-shot learning paradigm with synthetic data generation and a use case for rare events, objects, or anomalies. A generative model will also be developed to learn the transformation between different sensor types to generate synthetic satellite images. To address the high dimensionality of satellite image data, we propose a patch/region-based approach to generation.

Development of Novel Oral Appliance for Assisting Senior Population to Overcome a Sleep Related Breathing Disorder
1001285
The company aims to develop next two versions of improved Anti-snoring Oral Appliance prototypes to progress closer to commercial product for demonstrating to a larger sample of prospective prescriber or recommender stake holders (e.g. dentists, sleep physicians), to acquire potential sales and commercial feedback. The feedback and design and developmental improvements will be iterative, building upon current version of prototype already manufactured and demonstrated to limited stake holders.
