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.

AI Assist: ARP AI Pilot Project for AI-Driven Joint Load And Force Sensing Prediction Models for WithinStride™
1032368
The project will support pilot testing of AI strategies, determine target architecture and quantitative technical objectives for implementation of an AI solution. Specifically, this AI solution will leverage gait data from the WithinStride™ system, combined with publicly available human movement datasets, to explore the feasibility of predicting knee joint loading and force sensing—key biomechanical parameters for musculoskeletal health. This pilot will validate AI architectures and inform the business case for future implementation in clinical and research markets.

Enhancing Aging in Place via the WithinStride™ Gait Rehabilitation System: Real-Time Gait Analysis and Biofeedback for Improved Mobility
1029580
PROVA Innovations’ WithinStride™ Gait Rehabilitation System aims to enhance mobility, independence, and quality of life for older adults by providing a wearable, real-time biofeedback solution for gait retraining. This innovative technology combines sensor integration, personalized feedback, and remote clinician monitoring, addressing mobility challenges related to conditions like Osteoarthritis, Stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and other mobility-limiting conditions. By transitioning from lab-based testing to real-life home environments, the project seeks to validate WithinStride™’s effectiveness in diverse settings, improving patient outcomes while reducing the burden on healthcare systems. The ultimate goal is to empower older adults to age in place, maintaining their independence and physical health.
