As a Technology Access Centre, the Applied Research Centre for Natural Products and Medical Cannabis (ARC) at Loyalist College will focus on supporting innovation through increasing industries access to sector relevant expertise and technology. This initiative is a natural progression for the ARC and builds on a successful 15-year track record in applied research of commercially relevant natural products. There is an unprecedented demand for applied research and product development for the natural product, hops and cannabis sectors in Canada and all are experiencing significant growth. Natural health products are expected to reach $68 billion in global sales by 2020 and changes to the recent cannabis legislation has resulted in substantial growth for the medical cannabis sector as well. Further, with the new Cannabis Act in place and plans for concentrates and edibles planned for 2019, there are tremendous opportunities for applied research, technology adoption and product development. The rapid growth of these sectors has provided a unique opportunity for the ARC at Loyalist College to support business innovation. Loyalist was the first College in Canada to receive a Health Canada license under the previous Narcotic Control Regulations to investigate cannabis. The TAC initiative will provide an environment for college-industry partnerships to thrive while providing students with unparalleled opportunities for work-integrated learning; investigating extraction, isolation, formulation and product development for the global market.

作为技术获取中心，忠诚学院的天然产品和医用大麻应用研究中心 (ARC) 将重点通过增加行业获取行业相关专业知识和技术的机会来支持创新。这一举措是 ARC 的自然发展，建立在商业相关天然产品应用研究 15 年的成功记录之上。加拿大天然产品、啤酒花和大麻行业对应用研究和产品开发的需求前所未有，并且所有行业都在经历显着增长。预计到 2020 年，天然保健品的全球销售额将达到 680 亿美元，最近大麻立法的变化也导致医用大麻行业大幅增长。此外，随着新《大麻法案》的实施以及 2019 年浓缩物和食用品计划的实施，应用研究、技术采用和产品开发将面临巨大的机遇。这些行业的快速增长为忠诚学院的 ARC 提供了支持商业创新的独特机会。 Loyalist 是加拿大第一所根据之前的麻醉品管制条例获得加拿大卫生部许可证以调查大麻的学院。 TAC 计划将为大学与行业合作伙伴关系的蓬勃发展提供环境，同时为学生提供无与伦比的工学结合学习机会；研究全球市场的提取、分离、配方和产品开发。
