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.

Bacterial SOS and non-SOS responses to antibiotics in A. baumannii
968516
Antibiotic microbial resistance (AMR) is serious concern as bacteria have evolved to resist many of the current antibiotic drugs. Of particular concern are Gram negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii which is often the cause of outbreaks in health care settings. The Project will develop novel, “plug-and-play” biodegradable nanoparticles and bioengineered phage delivery systems for targeting bacterial cell surfaces of AMR pathogens to repurpose existing antibiotics for combating AMR. A key component of these delivery systems is the bacteriophage-based delivery system to increase the sensitivity of AMR pathogens to antibiotics, thereby repurposing the currently licensed antibiotics as a strategy to combat AMR crisis. Many bactericidal antibiotics lead to formation of hydroxyl radicals, resulting in damage to DNA, proteins and lipids and subsequent induction of the SOS response. The Project will specifically identify genes that are critical to the bacterial SOS or non-SOS responses to antibiotics and then clone those genes to bacteriophages as a way to reduce their antibiotics resistance.
