JOIN THE UWPR COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD!
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of people interested in infectious diseases research issues, such as HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B, COVID-19, and MPOX.
The CAB’s role is to assist UW Positive Research in the selection and implementation of local and national studies.
The CAB acts as a connection to our communities to educate people about participation in research studies -- and to educate our research staff about the issues affecting our communities.
