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.

Empowering Young Canadians in the Smart Device Era: A Privacy-by-Design
Research and Public Engagement Initiative
n/a
The insights gleaned from this multi-method study will inform the development of a privacy-by-design toolkit, tailored to the realities of young Canadians. This toolkit will offer practical guidelines and actionable recommendations for device manufacturers, educational institutions, policymakers, and families, fostering more transparent data practices and safeguarding personal information by default. In addition, interactive workshops, webinars, and a dedicated website will broaden community engagement, ensuring that the project’s findings reach not only researchers and policymakers but also young Canadians themselves.

Machine-learning algorithms for integrating HDT bed rest data and measuring the deconditioning of physiological systems
25HLSDM2
During spaceflight, astronauts experience deconditioning; the simultaneous reduction of the functional capacity of multiple body systems leading to weakness and inability to perform activities. Impairments span multiple systems from cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, to immunity all contributing to deconditioning. The scarcity of astronauts’ biological samples combined with technical challenges in space hampers our ability to monitor how the human body copes with space hazards. However, head-down tilt (HDT) bed rest studies represent an Earth-based analogue to microgravity and an opportunity to decipher the molecular mechanisms leading to deconditioning. The research team secured access to European Space Agency (ESA) data collected for the monitoring of participants. We will apply machine-learning algorithms to integrated ESA data and gene expression data collected from the same participants by our Team. Results will reveal predictor and physiological responses for early detection of deconditioning and for the design of interventions to prevent the negative effects of microgravity.
