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.

Device Miniaturization and In-Vitro Quality Study of the SIMBA Capsule
937687
Nimble Science has designed and implemented its first proof-of-concept prototype of the SIMBA capsules. The prototype is encapsulated by a standard AAA size gelatin capsule. The fact that gelatin is a type of animal-sourced material imposes a Class 4 device on SIMBA capsules as per the Guidance on the Risk-based Classification System by Health Canada. Therefore, this project involves miniaturizing a small intestine microbiome aspiration capsule in order to fit into a standard vegetarian enteric capsule for better patient acceptance and easier regulatory approval, and conducting a series of in-vitro tests to validate the sampling function parameters before proceeding to the clinical trial.

Feasibility study to use Index and Search technologies
937908
Feasibility study to use Index and Search technologies for automated tissue “floater” detection, a critical contamination in the pathology clinic laboratory
Quality control of tissue biopsy slides in pathology labs is critical to efficient diagnosis of disease. Huron’s newly developed “smart” imaging platform aims to detect tissue “floaters” and other artefacts reducing delays and costs leading to improve time to disease diagnosis.
