Community & Patient Advisory Board (CPAB)

The NC TraCS Community and Patient Advisory Board (CPAB) is a group of patient and community leaders from across North Carolina who are convened to create and strengthen connections between researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill and communities across the state. Established in 2021, the CPAB's role is to ensure that NC TraCS centers community and patient perspectives in its programming and translational science efforts.

Through its work, the CPAB aims to:

  1. provide guidance on NC TraCS programming, operations, and initiatives related to community/patient engagement and recruitment
  2. advocate for UNC-wide infrastructure that supports engagement and participation in research
  3. inform principles and practices around UNC-Chapel Hill's relationships with communities
  4. on a limited basis, provide project-specific input to researchers served by NC TraCS
