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.

MOU CSA-BMST Invivo Sensors for NIR II Nanoprobes
957870
The second biological window (NIR II) is a region of the optical spectrum where biological tissue transparency is optimal. Photon has pioneered instruments for this window by proposing the first microscope (IMA IR) and the first preclinical imager (IR VIVO) to the research community.
This project will see the development and prototyping of new in vivo NIR II sensing and imaging modalities.

ARP - MOU CSA-BMST A plate reader for the second near infrared biologcal window
946445
The second biological window (NIR II) is a region of the optical spectrum where biological tissue transparency is optimal. With the advent of new instruments for this region, like our preclinical imager IR VIVO, the research community is racing to develop new probes and contrast agents.
The current project will allow the development of a new automated infrared multiwell reader, including new laser sources, optics and spectrometer.
