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.

Value Engineered Translation for Healthcare and Biotechnology Industry
915674
Clinical adoption of cell-based treatments is hampered due to the complexity of cell and tissue
based therapies compared with small molecules and other drugs, uncertainty in treatment
outcomes, a cautious and evolving regulatory process, and lack of proven models of
transnational research. We have previously developed an innovative multidisciplinary decision model and value of information analysis framework for cell-based immunotherapies to guide investment decisions in regenerative medicine and inform emerging regulatory
frameworks.The goal is to target all manufacturing models of cell-based therapies (autologus and allogeneic) which have proven difficult to successfully translate into marketable product.
