Community Advisory Board

The Rockefeller University CCTS Community Advisory Board (CAB)

Our Community Advisory Board (CAB) works to ensure that research conducted at Rockefeller University (RU) has the maximum potential to improve the health of the community. The CAB works with the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) to ensure that community perspectives and concerns are considered in the choice, design and implementation of Community Engaged Research (CEnR) conducted by Rockefeller investigators.

The CAB brings together community partners representing government agencies, community-based organizations, health care providers, patients and patient advocates.
