The CPA is committed to promoting and bringing attention to the science of psychology among and outside of the membership. To do this, it has and continues to embark on a number of activities:
- In 2009, the CPA Board approved the formation of the Science Directorate to increase the senior staffing for science and advocacy.
- CPA continues to find ways to promote psychological science by facilitating research, networking and collaboration among the membership. We have and continue to develop a number of tools such as the R2P2 (Recruit Research Participants Portal) and the Research Hub (under development),
- CPA has a number of partnerships with organizations that are committed to science and research activities such as the Canadian Consortium for Research and the Canadian Federation for Humanities and Social Sciences. Through these partnerships, the CPA has participated in a number of advocacy activities such as meetings with Members of Parliament to increase the research profile in Canada.
- CPA commits much time to liaising with Canada’s three federal Granting Councils. Many of the decisions made by the Councils impact the membership; CPA endeavours to inform the membership of these decisions and advocate for changes in decisions on behalf of the membership.
- On May 3rd, 2010, CPA received a letter from NSERC indicating a change in their decision to not fund students in clinical programs - students in clinically oriented programs will now be eligible to apply for Scholarship and Fellowship funding if they meet two criteria.
