Community Advisory Boards (CABs) can take many forms and serve many functions. Often, when advisory groups are affiliated with UW, the primary purpose is for the experiences and perspectives of people outside of academic settings to inform research questions, study design and materials, and program implementation. In this panel discussion, academic and community partners will share their experiences with two different types of Community Advisory Boards:
Project-specific advisory groups with limited time frame and narrow focus, recruiting people with specific life circumstances or identities that are relevant to the topic being studied
Long-term advisory groups with a broader scope, offering feedback on a wide range of research materials and activities
Come and hear suggestions, lessons learned, and new directions for developing, engaging, and sustaining Community Advisory Boards.
