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.

A Novel High Efficiency Self-Starting Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
967274
Wind power generation has been receiving significant attention in the past decades. There are two main types of wind turbines, i.e., the most commonly used horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and the vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). In terms of overall performance VAWTs are equivalent to HAWTs. Although HAWTs are relatively well studied, VAWTs have received less attention throughout the years. For offshore applications in deep waters, the wind turbines can be placed on offshore platforms, and VAWT systems become more attractive when compared against HAWTs, due to a lower center of gravity. Wind power could also
potentially reduce the usage of diesel power in northern Canada. In the present proposal, scaled 2-m height prototypes of novel VAWTs (with and without self-starting mechanisms) will be aerodynamically tested using wind tunnels and simulated using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques.

Glycosphingolipids and phospholipids as novel danger signals for activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in prodromal Parkinson’s disease
967243
Dysfunctional innate immune system, aberrant lipid metabolism and chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. We aim to use quantitative neurolipidomics (uOttawa) to identify novel "lipid signatures" that can act as sterile triggers to activate inflammatory responses and leverage antibody-based therapeutics (NRC) to extinguish the fire of inflammation.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.
