Community Advisory Board
About the Community Advisory Board
The board, which meets monthly, includes eighteen prominent members most of whom live in the Durham, NC community. The Board advises the Center on which communities to hold seminars or information sharing and gathering meetings; some members of the Board assist with selecting pilot investigators for future studies. The Board also helps researchers identify needed areas of research in their communities, helps researchers identify, gain and maintain access to samples of elders for their research projects, and provides on-going strategies for building community relations to enhance research in the older African American community.
