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.

Intense Terahertze Pulses modulate Ras Signaling in human skin cells
946827
Terahertz (THz) radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy that occupies a broad frequency band between 0.1 and 10 THz, and is non-ionizing. These frequencies coincide with natural dynamics of biological systems, including low-frequency vibrational modes of large molecules (e.g., all proteins, DNA) and the stretching/twisting modes of hydrogen bond networks that are ubiquitous in biological systems. This interaction mechanism is the basis behind existing novel THz diagnostic imaging technologies for which the high sensitivity to molecular/chemical structure provides excellent contrast between diseased and healthy tissue. However, exposure to higher levels of THz radiation can also affect the structure and function of target biomolecules. This project investigates these effects of intense terahertz radiation in proteins, cells, and skin tissue.
The Ultrafast Nanotools lab, houses the source of terahertz radiation and sample chambers that will be used to perform biological exposure studies. This is central to the proposed research, as sufficient radiation sources of the type required for these investigations are not commercially available. The state-of-the-art sources of intense terahertz pulses constructed for research purposes are known to be capable of generating peak electric fields and intensity distributions sufficient to induce significant non-thermal biological effect in target samples, as reported in several academic publications.
