Community Advisory Board
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) will work to ensure that the priorities of the diverse communities in our Catchment Area are represented in our U54. They will play an important role in partnering with our Outreach Core. The CAB – in partnership with our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) board and U54 investigators - identifies priorities, opportunities, and unmet needs. They will help craft U54 messaging and presentations to the diverse individuals who live in our catchment area. The CAB will also help ensure that ESI and student trainees have an opportunity to present their work to community leaders and members and forums held by the Outreach Core.
