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.

Microbead-in-droplet assay for characterizing Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells activation by tumor cells in co-culture droplets
979803
The project aims to characterize the functionality of engineered immune cells (e.g. CAR T-cells) by activating them with tumor-specific antigens (e.g. CD-19) and through their interaction with isolated circulating tumor cells (CTCs). To achieve this goal, the CAR T-cells and the isolated cells will be brought together and encapsulated in droplets to promote cellular interactions. The cells will then be incubated for CAR T-cell activation, and the activated CAR T-cells will be interrogated by analyzing the cytokines output using a microbead-in-droplet multiplex sandwich immunoassay developed in this project. The novel technology proposed herein is currently unavailable on the market and has the potential to significantly affect the
way that cell therapy products are assessed and how quality control is performed.
