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.

AI-enabled design of aptamers
957367
DNA aptamers, small sequences of single-stranded DNA, may be used for biological sensing, cell therapies, immunotherapy, alternatives to antibodies in therapies, etc. They are small, highly stable, and once designed, they can be reproduced in unlimited exact copies. However, the process by which aptamers are designed is time-consuming and expensive (e.g. SELEX) and extensive optimisation is needed to tune their binding characteristics and improve specificity. To address these
challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) methods will be developed to augment and speed up aptamer design. The Project will develop AI capabilities with broad utility across a range of cell and gene (CGT) therapy research objectives in future years of the Disruptive Technology Solutions for Cell and Gene Therapy challenge program. In the near term the Project will leverage a dataset of approximately 1000 aptamers being synthesized as candidates for a COVID-19 sensor platform, thus giving the unique opportunity to have a large impact in mitigating the impact of the COVID pandemic.

Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development Program
7423534 P002010001
The project aims to channel the creativity and the productivity of a new generation of students and young professionals, especially women, to contribute to poverty reduction and inclusive growth within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. More specifically, it seeks to deepen the knowledge and develop practical skills of students or mid-level professionals from the ASEAN region in areas of study that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Project activities include: (1) the provision of short-term (up to 8 months) scholarships for study/research for ASEAN students in Canadian post-secondary academic institutions in areas of study that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals; (2) the creation of institutional agreements between Canadian and ASEAN post-secondary academic institutions; (3) the provision of short-term scholarships for ASEAN mid-career professionals working in sectors that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to enhance their knowledge and skills in their area of work; and (4) the creation of an alumni network.
