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.

Nutrient sensing and screening powered by machine learning for reduced frailty risk
988491
The project aims to develop technology to support aging in place through an integrated decision support for health and safety. A new nutritional tracking system will be developed, which leverages machine learning and computer vision algorithms to specifically reduce frailty risk and age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in elderly people. In particular, sources of protein, vitamin D and calcium as well as estimated intake of these nutrients will be analyzed. To this end, an e-screening tool for self-management and risk assessment will be developed along with machine learning methods to estimate both food volume and intake. To evaluate this intelligent tracking system, a food intake dataset including food weights, volume, amount intake, and image sensor measurements will be created over the course of the project. The project is a foundational step toward a longer-term project to work with older adults to facilitate aging in place by assessing and monitoring their food intake with their doctor/dietitian.
