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.

Lower GI Endoscopy and Bronchoscopy - Development of a Standardized Haptic-Enabled Virtual Reality Simulation-Based Training Curriculum
999426
The project covers the development of a standardized haptic-enabled virtual reality (VR)-based simulation-based training (SBT) system for the lower gastrointestinal (GI) and bronchial regions. The project will involve development of a standardized Lower GI and Bronchoscopy SBT curriculum consisting of highly configurable VR training content that is closely in-line with the existing Lower GI and Bronchoscopy procedure training curriculum where system training sessions will provide real-time guidance, and comprehensive assessments.

Development of Training Curriculum for a Standardized Upper GI Endoscopy VR Simulator
964088
The proposed project will involve the development of a standardized virtual reality (VR)-based upper gastrointestinal (GI) simulation-based training (SBT) curriculum leveraging through a digestive endoscopy VR training simulator along with enhancement of the hardware system to support training curriculum requirements. The standardized upper GI SBT curriculum will consist of highly configurable VR training content closely modeled on common esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure training curriculum, AI based real time guidance during the training session, AI based comprehensive assessment/certification of the training session.
