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.

Flexible multiple-mechanism energy harvesting systems for remote real-time health condition monitoring and smart homes
986707
Recent studies have shown that chronically ill older adults can use home monitoring systems specifically designed for their use so they can safely stay at home or in community-based care centers for an extended period of time. This has been achieved thanks to the development of modern communications technology and the wide deployment of various sensors. However, most of these sensors require a source of energy. Having a battery on every device is not only inconvenient and wasteful, but also detrimental to the environment. This project aims to achieve efficient energy harvesting from indoor lighting and the environmental heat via photovoltaic and thermoelectric effects. The power generated will be used to power medical sensors and devices which include wireless communication functions, in order to provide innovative living environments for older adults. Such self-powered sensor systems will operate continuously and sustainably without an external power supply, and enable personalized healthcare and telediagnosis. For example, some key physiological parameters, such as temperature, vital signs, body motion, and molecular biomarkers could be detected noninvasively and reported to caregiver automatically.
