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.

Enhancing Vascular Access Precision through Ultrasound Guidance
1025849
This project integrates two synergistic components to advance ultrasound-guided catheterization: the development of a lightweight exoskeleton and a VR training module. The exoskeleton enhances precision and stability, allowing healthcare professionals to perform catheterizations with one-handed attachment and maintaining needle control within the ultrasound plane, reducing complications and adhering to the ANTT technique. The VR module offers realistic training scenarios to improve proficiency, simulating clinical conditions with accurate procedural feedback. Together, these innovations aim to democratize ultrasound-guided procedures, enhancing accessibility, reducing risks, and improving patient safety.
