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.

Eurostars: E!4506 - MediFEMTO: Advanced 3D fs Laser Surface Treatment for Orthopedic Prostheses

Agreement Number:

1020531

Duration: from Jul 1, 2024 to Jul 1, 2027
Description:

As part of the international consortium project “MediFEMTO: Advanced 3D fs Laser Surface Treatment for Orthopedic Prostheses", this project will focus on *

Orthopedic advances aim to improve outcomes and reduce rejection rates. A machine integrates 5 mechanical axes with 3 optical ones for 3D surface treatment, minimizing bacterial attachment on prostheses. Implant-related infections pose challenges. The fs laser system offers a solution. Partners contribute crucial expertise and technology. Our new software enables advanced laser-based manufacturing, with a machine tool digital twin allowing virtual usage before construction. Advanced feedback control and calibration optimize precision, with real-time computing enhancing performance.
