The Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) was established in 2001 to advise researchers on how best to engage under-represented populations in research, and to foster collaboration among those populations and researchers interested in addressing health disparities.
Who serves on the CRAB?
Community members, service providers, and academics with a shared interest in research being responsive to community needs and being conducted in a culturally appropriate and ethical manner.
How can CRAB benefit you?
Over 90 researchers have presented research proposals or funded research projects to the CRAB seeking guidance on:
- development of proposals and study design
- minority recruitment
- the design and content of recruitment materials
- how to address bad research experiences with minority populations
- how best to inform underrepresented populations about their research
- developing a systematic recruitment strategy
- identifying community organizations for partnered research
