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.

Life Cycle Assessment tool for the selection of plastic materials used in sustainable food packaging products
1003620
Early lab-scale decisions
will first be guided by simplified LCAs, but these will be quickly followed by
more detailed prospective analyses of potential environmental impacts that
integrate engineering models to capture expected economies of scale and
learnings. These will be complemented by an analysis of the manner in which
these materials may alter the material flows of plastics in the Canadian
economy, along with possible positive or negative repercussions on the
environmental performance of national and regional waste management, agri?food and energy sectors.

Development of novel, sensitive, measures of hand-function to expedite clinical
trials for neuromuscular disorders impacting aging in place.
1001787
Normal aging and chronic disease can reduce our fine motor skills. However, sensitive outcome measures for assessing hand function and fine motor skills required for activities of daily living are lacking. This is impacting treatment development for late onset neuromuscular conditions affecting hand function in the elderly, such as Myotonic Dystrophy type-1 (DM1), because the lack of PAGE 4 sensitive outcome measures to monitor treatment efficacy is preventing industry investment in clinical trials for these conditions. This project will develop and test novel, sensitive, outcome measures to assess hand function in patients with neuromuscular conditions using the NRC’s bTrained software platform combined with wearable hardware. At the end of the project, a novel outcome measure (consisting of a suite of sensitive hand function assessment exercises on the bTrained platform) will be delivered and be ready for testing in the context of clinical trials. This study directly falls under the objectives of the AiP program by developing tools to facilitate drug discovery for neuromuscular diseases affecting the elderly, and thereby help elderly individuals to remain well and living independently in their homes.
