Community Participatory Advisory Board

The Community Participatory Advisory Board (CPAB) is comprised of 15 local stakeholders from a cross-section of community-based organizations, advocates, academic institutions, public health institutions in addition to state and local health department representatives. Its mission is to provide community input to the CFAR Baltimore HIV Collaboratory’s agenda and initiatives. Recommendations and concerns raised by the CPAB are shared with the CFAR’s external Scientific Advisory Board convened by the Administration Core. CPAB members have strong ties and most importantly work directly in the community. The CPAB meets monthly to discuss pending issues.

The CPAB is charged with the following:

  • Provide CFAR feedback to projects and proposals, as requested
  • Raise issues of relevance to the community as they relate to HIV prevention and treatment
  • Assist in the development of community dissemination and outreach strategies for research findings related to HIV prevention, care and treatment with patients, clinicians, caregivers, HIV/AIDS service providers & interested persons in the community
