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.

This project will serve the needs of diverse and underserved families experiencing separation and divorce through the development of an Atlantic Branch of the National Self Represented Litigants Project (NSRLP). The project will focus on assisting self-represented litigants (SRLs) involved in the family law system to understand how the Divorce Act amendments and the rollout of the Unified Family court across the province may affect them. As part of the project, there will be presentations to SRLs in Nova Scotia, as well as community workers who may work with them.

Immunomagnetic capture of viral particles in biofluids
970968
Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the analysis of viral sequences isolated from patient samples has become essential for tracking virus variants and determining which mutations affect the viral proteins and influence its pathogenicity or its infectiousness. Purification of the viral particles prior to the required RNA sequencing would reduce the cost of sequencing and is less biased than alternative methods based on targeted sequencing or amplification of the viral genome. In this Project, the Recipient aims to develop protocols to optimize the purification of viral particles on the PowerBlade Platform, and subsequently, through sequencing, develop protocols for the identification of viral strains on the device.
