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.

Spectro-Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection and Quantification of Biomarkers
967250
Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics has the central aim of providing accurate and rapid identification of disease during the first clinical visit, thereby reducing loss-to-follow up and lowering costs within the healthcare system. While this field is ever-growing, there is a need for real-time, continuous monitoring of human health, which can be accomplished using wearable devices. While wearable devices which monitor physical parameters (heart rate, blood pressure) exist already, wearable sensors which monitor chemical biomarkers in bodily fluids have yet to be commercially developed. In this research, we will advance our already successful fabric-based plasmonic electrode chip technology towards the end goal of detection of human health biomarkers in sweat, a "headband of the future". Specifically, we will focus on identifying elevated levels of stress biomarkers in an effort to reduce the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder for certain occupations, including military personnel and front-line health care workers.

Spectro-electrochemical sensors for the detection and quantification of biomarkers
967250
In this project, we will explore printed fabric sensors for reliable concurrent electrochemical and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements of stress biomarkers in sweat as an early marker for post-traumatic stress disorder. Quantification of the sensor performance will be carried out to underpin end-user acceptance. Reliable real-time sensing and physiological monitoring technologies would have a broad impact on the daily lives of Canadians.
