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.

Establish the infrastructure, capacity and partnerships necessary to develop and ultimately conduct an Indigenous-driven I-HeLTI DOHaD Intervention Cohort Research Study, including:

Designing an intervention to develop, conduct and evaluate interventions for and with women and men during preconception, pregnancy and, for infants, during the postnatal period to substantially reduce the prevalence of NCDs;
Conducting evaluative and mechanistic studies that will explain the effect of the selected interventions on outcomes, including epigenetic and economic analyses of interventions; and
Developing governance processes, including research data management practices.
Develop cross-community collaborations that will provide a multi-disciplinary learning platform and training environment for early career researchers and trainees;
Generate evidence that will guide policy and other decision making, and identify opportunities for future research and interventions as part of a longer-term strategy for NCD prevention;
Decrease the incidence of risk factors for later-life NCDs by targeting early exposures and early development, particularly related to women and men’s health preconception, during pregnancy, early life and in early childhood.
