University of Saskatchewan/CCSA Memorandum of Agreement
On September 25, 2007, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) and the University of Saskatchewan formalized an opportunity to enhance their respective roles and effectiveness with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement that brings together the unique strengths of each organization. This agreement will provide a bridge between academic excellence and the addictions field.

Context

It is widely recognized that substance abuse and addictions have a negative impact on the social, health and economic well-being of Canadians and that effective partnerships between educational institutions and non-governmental organizations can promote the development of leading-edge research, policies and programs that reduce the harm associated with alcohol and other drugs.

The University of Saskatchewan and CCSA have identified an opportunity to enhance their respective roles and effectiveness through a cooperative arrangement that brings together the unique strengths of each organization. The Government of Saskatchewan has established a Research Chair in Substance Abuse at the University as part of its provincial action plan for substance abuse. The Research Chair will help increase what is known about substance abuse issues and how best to treat them. This agreement between CCSA and the University of Saskatchewan will provide a bridge between academic excellence and the field of addictions.

Highlights of Activities to Date
  • CCSA and the University of Saskatchewan, in collaboration with national and international partners, submitted a Development Grant application to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada International Opportunities Fund.
  • CCSA is a member of the Community Advisory Committee for the Research Chair in Substance Abuse.
