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.

Tracking the mechanism of antibody trafficking across the blood brain barrier with advanced 3D-structure
925184
We will use Cryo-Electron Microscopy (McGill University) and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry to study the mechanism by which antibodies bind to Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) and cross the blood-brain barrier. Sophisticated models of receptor/antibody interactions will be constructed and used to decipher the molecular events that initiate crossing.

AI-driven interactive finite element simulation running on mobile platforms
925203
This project objective is to improve real-time surgical simulator solver performance to allow for equivalent realism and resolution on an affordable mobile device as it is currently possible on full size simulator. The project seeks to achieve this by re-defining a finite element problem to better exploit specialized computing hardware.

In search of blood cellular optical barcodes signifying otherwise silent cardiovascular risk
925991
Some 2.4 million Canadians live with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many will die, diagnosed only once irreversible cardiac damage is done, despite passing all cholesterol tests! Combining microfluidic sample preparation and infrared spectroscopy-based metabolic fingerprinting ("barcoding"), the project aims to save those lives by discovering new circulating markers signifying elevated CVD risk.
