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.

MEDO.ai Thyroid - Automatic Assessment of Thyroid Ultrasound
929437
Thyroid nodules are common in adults, only 7% have palpable nodules but the prevalence increases to 30% on ultrasound examination. American Thyroid Association recommends ultrasound as the first line of assessment for the stratification of risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is recommended for suspicious nodules, but these are costly and often inconclusive. An accurate image-based assessment would save time and reduce medical expense. However manual assessment of ultrasound is subjective, tedious and inconsistent especially when multiple nodules are present. This project proposes a cloud-based tool for automatic analysis and risk stratification in thyroid ultrasound which can be accessed at point-of-care.
