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.

Operating Grant: COVID-19 Clinical Epidemiology Research Rapid Response
155058
The proposed research will collect epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of the disease outbreak in Canada, with the following objectives:
• Describe the clinical presentation and spectrum of disease in sentinel hospital sites in Canada;
• Describe key epidemiological characteristics such as incubation period, case-fatality rate, and risk factors in Canada;
• Characterize the duration of viral shedding;
• Describe the response to treatment, including standard of care and potentially approved novel therapeutics, if any;
• Understand risk factors associated with different clinical outcomes following infection; and
• Support development of evidence-informed clinical guidance and recommendations.
Sex and gender differences exist in the objectives above, making sex and/or gender issues an important component of this research initiative. CIHR will require applicants to consider sex as a biological variable and gender as a socio-cultural factor in their research.
