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.

Development of 3D ultrasound technology for integration in the permanent breast seed implant brachytherapy treatment
939730
This project aims to develop a 3D ultrasound system for the unique application of permanent breast seed implant to improve imaging and anatomy visualization in this treatment. This will start with a design that has already been prototyped and include testing and improvements. The primary aim is to produce a market-ready device that can be incorporated into the clinical permanent breast seed implant treatment.

Development of automated treatment planning software for permanent breast seed implant brachytherapy
920797
The project aims to further develop and integrate Okolo Health's breast brachytherapy software with MIM Software's basic treatment planning platform. This primary aim of producing a more advanced market-ready integrated software for breast cancer treatment using brachytherapy that requires accurate and precise placement of radioactive treatment pellets in the surgical cavity to target and kill tumor cells that may have been left behind or have migrated outside the surgical margin if tissue removed.
