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.

Isoform Adaptive Volume Management System
1030434
The Isoform Adaptive Volume Management System is Vessl's flagship product, expected release date H2 2025. The proposed NRC IRAP project will be to add new features to Isoform between April 2025 and March 2026. These new features will be incorporated in Isoform V2, which will launch into the market in 2026. Isoform V2 will include features that were not the main focus for Isoform V1, but which would increase adoption in the market by increasing the number of amputees which can use the device. These features will be prototyped, tested, and incorporated into the Isoform V2 design for product release.
