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.

Blood Collection/Transfer Device Development
998625
Verv has identified a need for a method to obtain whole blood using a device that is simple to use by an unskilled consumer (user) and will yield up to 120-150ul of whole blood. This device must then be able to transfer the collected blood to Verv's novel Vi Home Health Monitor. Specifically, the collected blood must transfer with ease to Verv's Vi chip device which contains a column where further reactions occur that separate blood plasma from whole blood in an efficient and fast manner.

Software Programmer for in home biochemistry device
985523
Verv requires a skilled software engineer to provide the necessary software architecture for a microcontroller, to integrate existing codes with different languages to build an individual framework to run Verv's In-home blood analyzer testing solution. This project will work to embed the hardware and software of the system to provide a quantitative outcome to a users smart phone.
The microcontroller is essential for decision making, automation and control of the full biochemistry solution.

Medical Lab Technician
979659
Verv requires a Laboratory Technician that will assist in the development and modification of the test assay creation for the Vchip. This project also requires maintaining appropriate equipment and supplies for the test development.
We require a lab technician to assist our lead PhD in test assay development. Several integral tests must be completed to develop and verify our test assays to run on our Vchip design. The Test assays are the tests that will be delivered on the disposable Vchip which is the basis to the entire Verv Biochemistry in-home testing solution. Test assays need to be modified to run on dry chemistry platform and work using our detection methods of EC.

DMF Catridge (V-Chip) Development
973879
Verv's In-home blood testing solution using our patent-pending passive microfluid blood plasma separation device to provide blood plasma fo biochemsitry test assays. The test cartridge (V-Chip) willl contain up to 4 unique test assays and will be read by the Vi Analyzer providing results to the users Smartphone.
The objective of this part of the project is to develop an inexpensive, disposable DMF cartridge (V-Chip)
