Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), CRISM (Canadian Research Initiative in Substance Misuse) provides a Canada-wide research network in the field of substance misuse, where members work together to generate the knowledge base necessary to improve current addiction treatment paradigms.
CRISM was designed to facilitate communication and collaboration among addiction service providers, researchers, and policy-makers. The five regional CRISM Nodes, in BC, the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic region, began their operations in 2015.
The Atlantic Node contributes to CRISM with projects that accelerate the transfer of scientific knowledge towards the development of new treatments, including pharmaceutical approaches and psychological interventions for people who use substances. The Atlantic node spans and connects researchers, ptractitioners, and stakeholder groups in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.
In 2022, the Atlantic Node counts over 190 active members. The node brings together researchers from many universities and institutions, clinicians, policy-makers, administrators, physicians, and representatives from user groups and actors intervening in different stages of support programs for people with substance use disorders in the Atlantic provinces.
