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.

Implementation of Single Cell Dielectrophoresis as a Tool for Bioprocess Optimization
946577
Dielectric properties of cells play an important role during growth conditions in batch culture. Studies have demonstrated that the dielectric properties of cells can be used as an indicator of the state of cells in culture. Therefore, monitoring dielectric properties of cells such as intracellular conductivity during batch and fed-batch culture is being investigated as a tool for optimizing the productivity and quality of bioprocesses. Dielectric spectroscopy, known as capacitance measurement, is the key technique for monitoring the dielectric properties of the bulk cell culture. However, the bulk capacitance of a cell culture does not reveal information about the subpopulation of cells in the medium. The use of Dielectrophoresis (DEP) cytometer, which is a label-free, non-invasive and has the ability to be implemented as an online tool, for monitoring the dielectric properties of single-cells in batch and fed-batch culture identifies subpopulations. In this project, the DEP cytometer will be used to perform single-cell dielectric measurements under controlled conditions such as nutrient deprivation and timed feed addition scenarios to enhance the productivity and quality of bioprocesses.
