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.

A new framework for secure predictive healthcare delivery through federated machine learning
978160
In the last decade, significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques has created a growing interest in leveraging these techniques to achieve predictive healthcare delivery. It is expected that AI and ML will bring about a paradigm shift in the next generation healthcare systems. Such systems will utilize AI and take advantage of inexpensive high-performance and cloud computing environments. However, ML and AI are data-hungry and data-driven technologies. This characteristic, in particular, could potentially limit the utilization of AI in healthcare systems. The goal of this Project is to address these challenges using federated learning (FL). The Project will develop a secure and scalable federated learning framework for healthcare systems. To demonstrate the application of the proposed framework for predictive healthcare, the project team will extend the precision care ML model developed in a previous project and also create a new predictive model for breast cancer detection. The proposed framework will focus on secure data discovery, data mapping and negotiation, privacy preservation while providing trusted and traceable data access, and a sharing environment for ML-based healthcare systems.
