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.

Project Grant - Priority Announcement - Breast Cancer Survivorship
181666
The CIHR Institute of Cancer Research (CIHR-ICR) has a mandate to support research that reduces the burden of cancer on individuals and families through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, effective treatments, psycho-social support systems, and palliation.
This PA will fund Breast Cancer research in the following priority areas:
• General Breast Cancer Research
o research that supports CIHR-ICR’s mandate in the area of Breast Cancer
• Breast Cancer Prevention and/or Early Detection of Breast Cancer
o research that prevents the onset of breast cancer (lowers cancer risk) and/or reduces the severity of the disease through early detection when it is at its most treatable.
• Breast Cancer Survivorship
o research that mitigates the challenges experienced along the breast cancer survivorship journey and improves the health outcomes for breast cancer survivors of all ages from the time of their cancer diagnosis until the time of their death or entry into end-of-life care.
o specifically in the areas of:
¿ Late & Long-Term Effects
¿ Survivors’ Experiences & Outcomes
¿ Models of Care

Project Grant - PA: Patient-Oriented Research - Implementation Science
181953
This Priority Announcement (PA) is led by Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research in partnership with CIHR’s Knowledge Mobilization Strategies team and aims to support Patient-Oriented Research (POR) with a focus on mobilizing knowledge for research impacts.
Patient-Oriented Research, which is foundational to evidence-informed health care, refers to a continuum of research that engages patients and communities, including People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE), as partners throughout the research process, focusses on patient-identified priorities, and improves patient outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in collaboration with relevant partners, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve health outcomes for Canadians.
Canada’s¿Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR)¿is a national coalition of federal, provincial and territorial partners (patients and informal caregivers, community members, health authorities, academic health centres, charities, philanthropic organizations, private sector, etc.) dedicated to the integration of patient-oriented research into care. The vision for SPOR is that Canada will demonstrably improve health outcomes and enhance the health care experience for patients through the integration of evidence at all levels of the health care system.
