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.

Development and Optimization of Novel Chimeric Antigen Receptor NK-cell Therapeutics for B-Cell Malignancy and Solid Tumors
986689
Even though CAR-T therapies show dramatic efficacy in inducing remission of cancers, their high cost and toxicity remain significant issues. Upon infusion of the T cells to a foreign host, the TCR reacts to the foreign MHC and induces graft versus host disease (GvHD), making it challenging to generate off-the-shelf, allogeneic therapy that can be given universally to genetically unrelated recipients. The GvHD often induces severe side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity. The team hypothesize that CAR-NK cells will provide potent and safe immunotherapy for patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors, which often do not respond to conventional therapies and current immunotherapies. In addition, the team reasons that advancing the technology of utilizing iPSCs-derived CAR-NK cells will facilitate the development of a more affordable and accessible off-the-shelf cellular cancer therapy. For this, the team will tackle the following questions to advance CAR-NK cell therapy to a clinical trial.
