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.

Venous Ultrasound Low-flow Complexity ANalysis
25HLSHANA3
The recent observation of a blood clot forming in the neck vein of an astronaut on the International Space Station could have been related to low or stagnant blood flow in the vein as astronauts no longer have a head-to-heart gravitational gradient during spaceflight. The current study will use novel high-frame rate ultrasound investigations of blood flow in the neck vein during parabolic flights that replicate the microgravity conditions of spaceflight. From the ultrasound signals, the research team will use vector flow imaging to assess across the full width of the vessel the potential for areas of stagnant flow that could elevate the risk for blood clot formation. These results could lead to an inflight diagnostic screening test and a tool for evaluation of potential countermeasures to prevent this serious health risk for astronauts.

Antarctica and the hibernating brain; The interaction between mental fatigue, hypoxia, exercise and sleep in an isolated, confined and extreme (ICE) environment
25HLSHANA6
Extended exposure to the isolated and extreme conditions at the Concordia station may induce mental fatigue, a state associated with mood disturbances, safety concerns, and work errors. The BREEZE-project aims to comprehensively evaluate mental fatigue, sleep, and physical fitness during an Antarctic overwintering campaign by tracking psychological, (neuro)physiological, and behavioral parameters. Assessments will include questionnaires on fatigue, sleepiness, coping strategies, and mood, as well as polysomnography, exercise heart rate, genotype analysis, arterial oxygen saturation, actigraphy, and activity diaries. The study will focus on interindividual differences and their stability over time. Additionally, two countermeasures will be tested: acetazolamide supplementation to improve sleep quality and reduce mental fatigue, and oxygen-enriched physical exercise to enhance performance and consequently mitigate fatigue. Ultimately, the project aims to map mental fatigability changes and elucidate genotype-related variability in response to extreme environments. This multidisciplinary approach will advance understanding of fatigue mechanisms and inform development of effective interventions.

FCPM - UV Disinfection Process Optimization Through Rapid Onsite E.coli Tests
1032658
The main goal of this pilot is to deploy VeloCens® onsite and through Rapid E.coli tests develop a Dose Response Curve (DRC) for the UV disinfection process of the project partner. The DRC will help the partner to optimize its UV dosage and can act as a guide.
