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.

International CIIP Korea, Rapid diagnostic test to detect novel biomarker to aide in the triage and management of sepsis

Agreement Number:

926805

Duration: from Apr 1, 2019 to Feb 28, 2023
Description:

CIIP Korea project with IVD LAB CO., LTD. In this two-year project, we will develop and verify a prototype lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) diagnostic test to rapidly detect (<25 min) a novel host biomarker of sepsis in whole blood, in order to help guide the triage and management of patients with life threatening infection. The test will be suitable to be performed by non-laboratory personnel in emergency departments, intensive care units, and physician offices, globally. Clinical performance of the test will exceed that of the commercial reference standard procalcitonin (PCT) host biomarker test.
