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.

Improvement of pulse protein flavour and quality through breeding and processing
946231
Peas (Pisum sativum) are one of the main pulse crops, extensively grown in Western Canada. The demand for peas and their fractions continue to increase due to their known nutritional and health benefits, as well as growing demand for gluten free products. However, the beany flavour of pea protein presents challenge in using pea ingredients in a broad range of food products. This study will develop novel processing technology for pea protein using hydrodynamic cavitation and membrane filtration.

Exploiting Collateral Sensitivity to Win the War Against Antimicrobial Resistance
946580
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious and growing problem in the treatment of infectious disease. Broadly, the potential to use combat AMR using collateral sensitivity, a phenomenon whereby resistance to one antimicrobial results in sensitivity to other drugs will be examined. The hypothesis that collateral sensitivities can be used to slow the emergence of AMR will be tested. The central premise of this hypothesis is that the use of one drug will select against mutations that confer resistance to a second drug. For example, if streptomycin resistance mutations confer sensitivity to chloramphenicol, then treatment of a sensitive population of bacteria with chloramphenicol should slow the emergence of streptomycin resistance by selecting against specific, collaterally sensitive mutations. The team will test this hypothesis using a combination of conventional mutation rate assays and sequencing. This work will provide crucial tests of the central logic of using collateral sensitivity to fight AMR; such tests have not thus far been carried out.
