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.

Towards a new integral (physiological / metabolic / biochemical / molecular) paradigm for the generation of anti-cancer therapeutics: breaking through a cancer cell’s defense by targeting hypoxia and acidosis.
946579
The team will perform studies to test the potential therapeutic efficacy of a new antibody (Ab)-based drug, called a single domain Ab (sdAb), that specifically blocks the activity of a protein called carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). CAIX is expressed by cancer cells in environments with low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) and is used by cancer cells to regulate proper metabolism, allowing for survival in hypoxia. Cancer cells will be cultured and tested whether the sdAbs are able to block the activity of CAIX produced on these cells. The team willl carry out experiments to determine whether sdAbs inhibit the growth of cultured cancer cells. The team will also investigate whether sdAbs that carry a toxin will kill cancer cells. Based on these experiments, the team willl conduct studies to determine whether the sdAbs, with or without toxins, are able to block the growth of human tumors in mice. These initial studies are a first step in developing CAIX-specific sdAbs for use as cancer therapies.

The Right to Privacy: Conceptual Analysis and Ethical Reflections on its Source, Scope and Place in an Era of Data-Driven Technology
This research project will give researchers the opportunity to contribute to current philosophical thinking on privacy protection in Canada through a conceptual analysis of the right to privacy and ethical reflections on its source, scope and place in an era of data-driven technology.

University Undergraduate Student Research Awards
11020202021Q211318
The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.
