Participating Community Advisory Boards (CABs)

Antiviral Research Center (AVRC) CAB
The AntiViral Research Center (AVRC) CAB assembles investigators and local people with HIV (PWH), at-risk, and HIV-affected community members. This CAB meets monthly to review proposed HIV clinical trials, including study design, feasibility, and safety for participants. CAB members share concerns related to ethics or protection of study participants and make recommendations on topics discussed. The CAB provides local researchers with valuable input on enhancing participant recruitment and retention.

CAB meetings are held the first Monday of every month from 5:30pm to 7pm (currently via Zoom). There are often exceptions, so it is generally a good idea to call first at (619) 543-8080.
