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.

The main objectives of the CIHR Summer Institute on Equitable AI for Public Health funding opportunity, led by the host institution(s) are to:
Equip doctoral and post-doctoral trainees and early career researchers from primarily public health and, secondarily, computational sciences backgrounds with the technical skills to use AI approaches and methods to tackle key public health challenges;
Prepare participants to address the equity implications of different AI approaches, including identifying strategies to prevent and mitigate potential inequities that could result when using AI approaches in public health research and practice, and opportunities for leveraging AI to advance health equity;
Facilitate a high-quality, interdisciplinary learning environment that offers participants from across Canada the opportunity to interact with others from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines within public health and computational sciences, as well as Canadian and international leaders and implementers working in AI and public health; and
Catalyze the development of open-access training content and materials focused on using AI approaches in public health research that can be adapted and integrated into curricula for trainees at schools of public health and related disciplines, and among staff at public health agencies across Canada.
