The CHASI Hub has developed multiple formal and informal collaborative relationships with communities, government, and industry. These partnerships are captured in MOUs, participation as advisory committee members, collaborators, and knowledge transfer/integration partners.
The primary focus of these relationships and the work of the Hub is to support research, support the development, implementation and evaluation of effective policies and practices, and to engage in knowledge acquisition and transfer activities that encourage innovation and evidence-informed policies and programs.
