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 quarterly to discuss pending issues.
The CPAB is charged with the following:
The CPAB accepts and reviews new member applications once a year. New members are accepted based on the number of funded vacant slots and areas of expertise sought by the CFAR Baltimore HIV Collaboratory. Vacancies are updated periodically on the CFAR website. We especially encourage applications from individuals living with HIV.
