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.

LeaseSpark and SecureHub Critical Growth Core Improvements and Regulatory Requirements
984162
Both LeaseSpark and SecureHub are at a critical growth phase during their development. The purpose of this project is to add essential features into two of our flagship products. LeaseSpark is missing enhancements in order to augment its asset finance origination and booking solution, as well as equipping it for streamlined credit adjudication. For SecureHub, this is a period of unprecedented international growth, which requires regulatory enhancements for asset backed securities administration, asset backed commercial paper administration, as well as additional reporting features.

Microbead-in-droplet assay for characterizing chimeric antigen receptor t-cells activation by tumor cells in co-culture droplets
979803
The project aims to characterize the functionality of engineered immune cells (e.g. CAR T-cells) by activating them with tumor-specific antigens (e.g. CD-19) and through their interaction with isolated circulating tumor cells (CTCs). To achieve this goal, the CAR T-cells and the isolated cells will be brought together and encapsulated in droplets to promote cellular interactions. The cells will then be incubated for CAR T-cell activation, and the activated CAR T-cells will be interrogated by analyzing the cytokines output using a microbead-in-droplet multiplex sandwich immunoassay developed in this project. The novel technology proposed herein is currently unavailable on the market and has the potential to significantly affect the
way that cell therapy products are assessed and how quality control is performed.

Development of national method for wildfire hazard and exposure assessment
982128
The overall aim of this project is to identify a standardized methodology for assessing fuel hazard and fire exposure to sites and communities in Canada. The project will:
(1) review and document emerging methods for enhanced mapping of
fine-resolution fuel attributes (i.e., remote sensing, LiDAR, UAVs, ML) and assess costs and benefits of these data compared with traditional fuel data sources such as forest inventory data;
(2) assess the alignment of high-resolution fuel-based metrics with observed burned areas using empirical modeling methods in order to validate these fuel-based metrics; and
(3) explore compatibility and integration of validated high-resolution fuelbased
metrics with other fire controls (e.g., weather, ignition patterns) commonly used in existing fire hazard and exposure assessment
frameworks.

Impact of Race and Culture Assessment Learning Opportunities for Judiciary
12047783
The National Judicial Institute (NJI) will develop an online course on Impact of Race and Culture Assessments (IRCAs) for members of the Canadian judiciary. This course will be developed in French and English and made available to provincial and territorial judges, including Youth Court, Youth Justice Court, and Youth Division judges across the country on the NJI judge-facing website. The course will also be made available to all federally appointed judges.
