Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research 3.08

The Canadian Centre for Substance Use Research (CISUR, formerly CARBC) is a network of individuals and groups dedicated to the study of substance use and addiction in support of community-wide efforts to promote health and reduce harm. Our research is used to inform a broad range of projects, reports, publications and initiatives aimed at providing all people in BC and beyond with access to happier, healthier lives, whether using substances or not.

Since our inception in 2003, CISUR has continued to gain international recognition for work based on our guiding principles of:

- Collaborative relationships
- Independent research
- Ethics, social equity and justice
- Reducing risk and increasing protections
- Harm reduction
- Informed public debate
