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.

Clinical Adoption of Contactless sensors for COVID patients
983409
Contactless technologies can complement and support clinical diagnosis and decision making during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Patients can conveniently remain in a safe distance while frontline healthcare staff remotely monitor, assess and triage them. This can reduce the risk of infection transmission to healthcare staff as well as the need for unnecessary emergency department visits. Beyond COVID-19 pandemic, contactless technologies are required as Canadians age and become more likely to need access to healthcare, a low cost, efficient and convenient method of continuously monitoring these physiological parameters, applicable to both in-hospital and at-home settings.
The proposed project is conceptualized as a collaboration with NRC in Digitally-Augmented Contactless Diagnostics. The present system permits the acquisition and extraction of physiological signals such as for example, blood volume pulse (BVP)) from patients using contactless methods, as well as methodologies, that determine various physiological parameters including, but not limited to, heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiration rate, and temperature. The Digital Emergency Medicine (DigEM) team at UBC, led by Dr Kendall Ho, will provide clinical input into the applications of the Contactless Sensing System in several perspectives including clinical assessment and analysis, system validation, usability and feasibility testing.
