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.

YOUTH rapid parallelized clinical chemistry assay development
977494
Clinical chemistry assays each come with different canonical protocols. Our goal is to reduce the large patient sample and reagent volumes required with traditional assay protocols, and run a large menu in parallel on a compact microfluidic disc. The Graduate’s work on assay development will enable a significant reduction in blood sample volumes, automated assay operation, and faster turnaround times for end users.

Deeper Learning? Marketing, Personal Data and Privacy After Surveillance Capitalism
The researchers behind this project propose that the model of “surveillance capitalism” is already out of date. Sparked partly by the demands of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), they argue that we are seeing the emergence of new models of marketing using open-source intelligence, more time- or topic-limited types of personal data, and AI models, particularly Deep Learning. These models may not use less data but they do use data that is claimed to be less personally identifiable, while generating more lucrative outcomes for their marketing users.
The project thus asks five questions: 1. How do these models work? 2. How widespread is their use already? 3. Are the claims of their advocates justified, and what are the implications for privacy? 4. Are Canada’s current privacy laws and regulations capable of dealing with these models and their privacy implications? 5. What changes to law and regulation might be needed to do so?
The purpose of this project, in producing a report, technological walk-throughs and regulatory scenarios, is to increase knowledge and understanding within government, Parliament, and regulators of the actual and potential future practices of corporations regarding the collection, use and analysis of data, how these practices affect life chances and choices, and what options are available to protect human rights, particularly privacy.
