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.

Agreement:

AAV packaging cell line generation.

Agreement Number:

1024275

Duration: from Dec 9, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The project aims to further develop the D19 clone into a user-friendly cell line for producing AAV vectors, enhancing supply for laboratories working on AAV-based gene therapies. The D19 cell line was generated by NRC from suspension and serum-free media-adapted HEK293SF cells. Using lentiviral vectors, this parental cell line was modified to integrate into its genome a gene expression regulation system induced by the addition of cumate and coumermycin to express AAV Rep proteins (Rep40 and Rep68). Three of the best clones produced AAV titers comparable to those obtained by standard triple plasmid transfection of their parental cells. Anticipated outcomes include expanding AAV production capacity, enhancing market position, generating revenue for further technology development, achieving a breakthrough in AAV bioproduction by reducing costs and streamlining industrial scaling, and strengthening Canada’s biomanufacturing capabilities in gene therapies to enhance autonomy in high-value pharmaceuticals
