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.

Advanced enzymatic activity testing of anti-COVID19 ACE2-based biotherapeutics
961435
The SARs-CoV-2 coronavirus enters cells by binding to its plasma membrane receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). ACE2 is a member of the renin-angiotensin system that degrades the vasoconstrictor and pro-inflammatory peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) to its vasodilator, anti-inflammatory product Ang-(1-7).
This Project involves pre-clinical studies of ACE2-Fc variants with potential therapeutic properties against COVID-19. The compounds will be developed to bind and neutralize the SARs-CoV-2 virus, and to exert intrinsic ACE2 activity, thereby reducing detrimental effects of Ang II.
Comprehensive testing of ACE2 enzymatic activity for the designed ACE2-Fc variants arising from this collaboration will be performed. Enzymatic activity testing will be done at three levels:
1. Cell-free assays to test ACE2 enzymatic activity.
2. Cell-based assays using kidney proximal tubular cells.
3. In vivo studies, to determine the effects of lead compounds on blood pressure, kidney injury, and plasma/tissue ACE2 activity in mice with Ang II-mediated hypertension.
