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.

River and Stradbrook Avenues Protected Bike Lanes for Winnipeg, Manitoba
This funding application is intended to address a planned but unfunded segment of protected bike lane that will extend a fully funded segment of protected bike lane to be constructed as part of an upcoming road renewal project. River and Stradbrook Avenues are an east/west one-way couplet in the Osborne Village neighbourhood of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The design of the bike lanes involves the reallocation of road space from motor vehicles to bikes and people through the construction of new separated, protected bike lanes. The protected bike lanes will be uni-directional, following the flow of traffic and functioning together as a couplet.
The protected bike lanes are approximately 2.5 kilometers in their entirety. Approximately one kilometer of this length will be funded and included in an existing road renewal project and the remaining section would be funded through this application and already secured match funding.

Integrated RNA Sequencing to Understand Skeletal Muscle Atrophy During Bed Rest
25HLSDM5
The loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is a major public health concern, reducing quality of life and independence for many individuals. Both on Earth and during spaceflight, muscle unloading leads to atrophy, loss of strength, and glucose intolerance. The project aims to uncover the cellular mechanisms driving muscle atrophy during unloading and inactivity, such as prolonged bed rest, using advanced RNA-sequencing technologies. Furthermore, the research team will also investigate the underlying protective effects of an exercise countermeasure. By performing long-read RNA-seq analyses on a well-characterized cohort of participants, they will generate valuable scientific knowledge that could pave the way for new treatments to prevent or combat muscle atrophy and weakness. These findings will not only help astronauts stay healthy during space missions but also benefit people on Earth who experience muscle loss due to immobilization, critical illnesses, or chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer.
