Community Advisory Board

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) serves as an essential bridge between clinical research teams and the communities they aim to engage. Composed of a diverse group of community members—including patients, advocates, healthcare workers, educators, and local leaders—the CAB provides valuable insight into community perspectives, cultural considerations, and ethical concerns. By actively participating in the planning, implementation, and review of research activities, the CAB helps ensure that studies are respectful, inclusive, and aligned with the needs and values of the local population. Through regular dialogue and collaboration, the CAB strengthens trust, improves transparency, and supports greater community engagement and participation in clinical trials.
