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.

Exploring space health solutions through multiomic analysis of existing human spaceflight and analogue data
25HLSDM11
Spaceflight produces deleterious effects on multiple physiological systems (e.g., cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, and postural controls) with astronauts in isolation and confinement (IC) in a microgravity environment. IC studies conducted on the ISS and the ground generally demonstrated altered neuro-immunomodulated responses, whose mechanisms may be related to chronic stress dysregulating the central nervous system (CNS). However, the effects of IC on CNS insult and multi-omic responses are yet to be investigated. The research team proposes to analyze datasets of previous flight experiments from NASA’s OSDR and Vivaldi 1 & 2 transcriptomic data from dry immersion analogue study. They aim to generate new knowledge and understanding of human spaceflight risks associated with CNS dysfunctions and contribute to evidence-based, prophylactic countermeasure development to mitigate the adverse risks associated with current spaceflight. Moreover, this research aims to translate this understanding to improve the health of Canadians on Earth who may be affected by related adverse effects.

The pathophysiology, risk, and clinical presentation of Venous Thromboembolisms (VTE) during dry immersion and bed rest
25HLSHANA7
Recent findings suggest that the venous thromboembolisms (VTE) may occur during spaceflight. Jugular vein thrombosis is rarely reported on Earth, but is associated with relatively poor outcomes. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the upper body venous system, and the effects of microgravity on venous blood flow, blood viscosity, vessel distension, and inflammation. It is also necessary to provide a better description of the molecular mechanisms by assessing how blood clotting genes are differentially expressed under microgravity. To this end, the proposed research will 1) identify jugular vein status and coagulation changes in spaceflight analogue of dry immersion and bed rest by analysis of blood samples, and 2) investigate the molecular mechanisms that underlie the risk of VTEs by assessing the genes associated with coagulation. The outcome of this project would be a better understanding of the potential underlying mechanisms of VTEs in spaceflight.
