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.

Impact and Benefit Agreement Negotiations
GC-534
The objective of the project is to support the participation of Dehcho First Nation in the negotiation of an Impact and Benefit Agreement for Nahanni Nationla Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories. The project enables DFN to fund their negotiation team, update and consult with DFN leadership and community members on the status of the negotiations, cover legal costs incurred in the negotiations and engate in the process for ratification of the IBA.

AI for drug design – chemical synthesis
988469
The emergence of significant biochemical and high-throughput genomic data acquisition techniques and the rise of advanced artificial intelligence paradigms provides an unprecedented opportunity for automatic design of new drugs at a much faster pace and at a much lower cost, igniting hopes to discover drugs for diseases where no medicines currently exist. In this project researchers will aim to develop a data and AI-driven drug design platform/pipeline for precise and effective treatment of cancers and complex diseases.

Icrofluidic separation and spectroscopic detection of macro- and micronutrients in pulses
988614
The laboratory benchtop-length scales that have in the past been employed with plant science, such as the testing of pulses, can be reduced by harnessing the power of microfluidics integrated with novel optical detection methods.This intent of this Project is to harvest the well-established microfluidics technology provided from the NRC Medical Devices Research Centre, coupled with a highly sensitive optical detection method to develop a new testing platform for analyzing targeted nutritional components extracted from pulses.

Developing a proteome map and high throughput targeted proteomics of pea seeds
988705
The creation of new and superior pea varieties with high protein levels and tailored diverse protein functionality can be greatly accelerated through understanding the seed protein composition and diversity of this important legume. This Project will exploit proteomics to create new fundamental knowledge regarding the development and composition of pea seeds across their genetic diversity.
