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.

Developing immunomodulation capabilities for NanoDenrix Phytoglycogen
907205
Mirexus’ proprietary material - trademarked NanoDendrix™ (NaD) is a platform for the development of multiple pharmaceutical applications of safe and natural nanotechnology. Early discovery research has shown selected derivatives can be modified to regulate (either enhance or inhibit) the interferon mediated innate immune response. This further can be used to enable the enhanced production of viruses grown in cell cultures…a potentially disruptive advance in the virus production industry.

Development of Autonomous Networking Platform
907573
Our technology platform targets the Data Centres need for scalability, in particular how the Data is networked inside the centre for processing and computation. The present system uses a hierarchical “Spine and Leaf” cascade of servers that translates into larger and larger stack of equipment just to get the Data to where it needs to be for processing. Our technology adapted an approached used in some high performance computation platform to the the commercial Storage networking realm. The result is increased performance, unprecedented linear scalability, simplified management, exceptional fault tolerance, improved security plus we eliminate the external footprint, all at a significantly lower price point.
