Shifting the Power Dynamic in Community/Academic Research Through Community Advisory Boards
Trends in funding for Community Based Participatory Research recognize the vital contribution of community members in guiding the research. The inclusion of a Community Advisory Board for academic/community research partnerships ensures the necessary leadership to inform research studies in the most culturally appropriate way. Through the development and implementation of an effective CAB, comprised of a diverse group of community members, the CAB is able to provide expertise and advice about the impact of research on the community for whom an intervention is intended. The workshop will explore the essential role of Community Advisory Boards in community engaged research and the role that academic institutions can play in elevating the community voice through research partnerships.
