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.

Agreement:

Wearable Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) Device

Agreement Number:

980525

Duration: from Oct 29, 2021 to Aug 31, 2022
Description:

Sonele is developing a wearable therapeutic device, that uses low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in order to induce regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and tendon. This device is the first of its kind, and no other wearable solution on the market exists for painless and non-invasive treatment of fractures such as humerus and tibia fractures.
Sonele has extensive experience designing and manufacturing ultrasound devices, and strongly believes that a wearable LIPUS device will facilitate ease of treatment. A wearable device will allow self-mounting to the patient’s area of treatment and require minimal physician/user intervention. This technology can be activated remotely.
