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.

Bench and Preclinical Study, Prototyping, Regulatory Study Design, and Pilots
1034494
PulseMedica is advancing its floater treatment system (SVO-Tx), a 3D image-guided femtosecond laser device for the non-invasive treatment of symptomatic vitreous opacities (SVOs or eye floaters). This project will complete preclinical laser safety validation, system performance verification, and assembly finalization, along with certification of two clinic-ready prototypes. It will also support development of clinical protocols and regulatory documentation in preparation for a First-in-Human (FIH) study, to follow beyond this project’s scope.

Prototype development for vitreous floater detection, tracking and laser treatment
991645
The detection, tracking and treatment of vitreous floaters in human eye is currently not possible with conventional imaging and laser technology. The proposed project involves design and development of medical device prototype that is intended to be dedicated solely for the accurate detection and treatment of vitreous floaters.
