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 an 8 hour RAPID metagenomic test for diagnosing human pathogens
969111
This project will support the R&D required to reduce the time from sample to result of the firm’s next generation sequencing-based test for diagnosing human pathogens from the current 12 hours to 8 hours. This will be done through the optimization of a variety of steps including significant reduction in the time required for the liquid phase hybridization of the firm’s proprietary probes with their target sequences.

Improvements in workflow and turnaround time of OneTest PathoGenome
917539
Fusion’s current assay has a 24-hour turnaround time and a complex workflow that requires high technical knowledge. The company has identified several avenues to simplify the workflow and bring the turnaround time down to 12 hours. The project will support R&D to investigate these avenues and implement a simplified workflow.
