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.

CAR-NK optimization through delivery of CRISPRa to safe harbours that enable persistent transgene expression during iPSCs differentiation
1000903
Specialized cells called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from mature tissue, such as the skin, and have accelerated the development of cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and other hard-to-treat diseases. However, the processes used to convert cells taken from a patient into a therapeutic product could be more efficient and easier to control. The project focuses on iPSC-derived CAR-NK immune cells, an upcoming anticancer therapy technology in which cells from a patient are modified and reintroduced to stimulate the patient's anticancer immune defences. Previous studies show that current production methods yield a low number of CAR-NK cells and that these cells rapidly lose their therapeutic attributes. The project investigates if new genome engineering strategies can improve the production of iPSC-derived CAR-NK immune cells. It has the potential to set new standards for stem cell manipulation and iPSC-derived therapy production that will bring CAR-NK anticancer therapies closer to the clinic.
