 Community advisory boards, CABS, have become increasingly popular strategies for engaging and partnering with communities in research. In this study, 89% of Clinical and Translational Science Award, CTSA, awardees who had implemented CABS reported that they provided compensation to CAB members, oriented them on their role and responsibilities, and evaluated their performance. Additionally, three-quarters of these awardees reported that they incorporate the feedback of their CABS into their decision-making process. These findings suggest that CABS can be effective tools for engaging and partnering with communities in research, and that many CTSA awardees are already taking steps to ensure that their CABS are successful.
