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.

AI Assist - Investigation of Voice Models

Agreement Number:

1034552

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Feb 28, 2026
Description:

During the project, Clinisys intends to integrate and test mature Generative AI tools such as scribe via API integration to AI-enable the firm's flagship product – Clinisys EMR. The firm will develop AI scribe specific interfaces that would allow relevant voice data through this interface to be transcribed using AI into text. The intended users will be physicians and clinicians using the system that would allow recording of patient interviews and population of relevant patient encounter fields from within Clinisys EMR interface. This will shorten the time of encounter where currently either the physicians must type the notes or use pre-configured patient encounter templates.

Integrated Open Platform providing Operational & Billing Support System for Wireless Internet Service Providers

Agreement Number:

1034567

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Apr 30, 2026
Description:

The project will develop an MVP open B2B platform that will enable small ISPs to offer emerging services beyond basic connectivity. The platform integrates affordable Operational and Billing Support Systems with advanced security and trust infrastructure, allowing independents to deliver a suite of services including healthcare monitoring, elder protection, and smart home services typically reserved for large carriers. The MVP will begin with a demo on how integrated spectrum management, smart gateways, and unified business systems can enable small ISPs to compete through service innovation.

UK Multisector - BioM - LV Production Kit: Development of GMP lentiviral production kit with optimized upstream and downstream processes.

Agreement Number:

1034570

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Feb 28, 2027
Description:

As part of the international consortium project “UK Multisector – BioM - LV Production Kit: Development of GMP lentiviral production kit with optimized upstream and downstream processes” this project will develop an end-to-end and off-the-shelf GMP enabled lentivirus manufacturing kit. The current standard in lentivirus manufacturing is inefficient and delivers low yields, leading to elevated manufacturing costs and less accessible therapeutics. This kit will be the first of its kind, integrating innovative upstream and downstream technologies that have been demonstrated to significantly enhance both upstream manufacturing yields and downstream processing recovery and contributing to the greater accessibility of ex-vivo gene therapy.

Design and simulation of an autonomous airdrop capability

Agreement Number:

1034600

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026
Description:

Airdrop has the potential to expand the reach of autonomous aircraft delivering time-critical cargo. However, autonomous airdrop requires advanced navigation and control systems to deliver goods safely and accurately. In this project, Ribbit is developing airdrop navigation and control software that delivers new capabilities on top of its existing autonomous stack.

Precision Drug Delivery via Laser-Activated Microfluidic Fibers

Agreement Number:

1034613

Duration: from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2026
Description:

This project aims to develop and validate a novel platform for laser-assisted targeted drug delivery using LMI's proprietary picosecond mid-infrared laser technology. This technology enables precise ablation of tissues and when coupled to a microfluidic drug channel, the optic probe can deliver localized therapeutics with high resolution and minimal invasiveness. LMI holds foundational IP specific to this application covering fiberoptic laser-drug delivery systems in addition to the original core IP portfolio covering the unique laser tissue interaction. The platform will be validated in, phantom tissue, ex vivo and animal models, focusing on applications in high-value organ systems: prostate, brain, lung, and pancreas.
