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.

Youth Green: Co-op Student: Development and integration of structural health monitoring sensors
919086
MesoMat Inc. is an advanced materials development company focusing on polymer based electrically conductive fibers and yarns. The fibers can be used as sensors which can be integrated into composite materials for sensing the integrity of materials under heavy use. Such “structural health monitoring” systems have the benefit of being able to reduce material waste, make structural components more light weight, and provide an early warning system for failure, fracture and fatigue. In addition to these environmental and societal benefits, MesoMat fibers are produced using green coating technologies.

PK and tolerability xenograft testing for lead oncology compound
919111
Tieös Pharmaceuticals is a pre-clinical stage biotech company, with the goal of creating novel small molecule inhibitors which target the unique metabolic characteristics of cancer cells.
With the use of advanced AI-based computational biology and 3D in-silico models, we have developed lead polypharmocological compounds which will each target multiple metabolic pathways simultaneously; creating synergies and reducing toxicity. Through a proprietary weighting of cancer specific metabolic pathways, we have now synthesized our five lead compounds and are conducting proof-of-concept in-vitro testing.
At Tieös, we have designed compounds which target onco-specific enzymes simultaneously – our goal is to starve cancer cells of their energy.
