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.

Single-pass oxygenation for transport
1034568
Traferox will design, build, and validate a dynamic organ storage system that pumps an oxygenated solution in a donor organ throughout the transport and preservation duration, while maintaining an optimal internal temperature of approximately 10°C. The low perfusion flow will be achieved via passive components. The system will include means to track the internal temperature and its location.

Pancreas ex-vivo support
1023909
Traferox will design, manufacture, and validate a system to perform normothermic ex vivo perfusion of the pancreas. In normothermic ex vivo pancreas perfusion, the excised pancreas is perfused with a solution containing red blood cells and maintained at body temperature for several hours in preparation for transplantation. Normothermic ex vivo pancreas perfusion enables detailed functional assessment of the organ and assessment of their suitability for transplant, as well as functional improvement. This project will create a system suitable for preclinical and clinical research.

Development of new perfusion applications
1006748
Traferox will design, manufacture, and validate systems that can perform normothermic ex vivo perfusion of the liver and the heart. In normothermic ex vivo organ perfusion, solid organs are perfused with a solution containing red blood cells and maintained at body temperature. Normothermic ex vivo organ perfusion enables detailed functional assessment of the organ and assessment of their suitability for transplant. This project will create systems suitable for preclinical research.
