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.

Advancement of a Novel Mesh Implantation Device for Inguinal Hernia Repair
1034006
To transform the treatment of inguinal hernias, Firm has developed a novel implantable hernia repair device. To complete safety and efficacy evaluations of the device, Firm intends to validate the manufacturing approach of the current prototype. Firm plans to contract an established nitinol medical device manufacturer to produce prototype units of the device. These commercial-grade units will be used in preclinical animal testing studies, and manufacturing validation data will be collected for attracting investment and preparing a regulatory submission. This project will directly advance the development of a novel hernia repair device.
