69IMPAACT CAB
- The role of the IMPAACT Community Advisory Board
Resource Committee (ICAB) is to - Provide HIV/AIDS life-experience and expertise to
positively impact the formulation and
implementation of research by community
representation on the IMPAACT Leadership
Committee, Scientific Committees, Resource
Committees and Protocol Teams. - Provide guidelines for Regional and Site CABs.
- Evaluate value and effectiveness of community at
network, regional and site levels. - Network across the DAIDS research networks
representation on the DAIDS Community Partners
and collaborate with other community groups from
NIH institutes and NGOs. - Identify HIV/AIDS research needs and issues
across networks and institutes and work toward
effective resolution of these needs and issues.
70ICAB Working Groups

- ICAB about RCAB, site CAB, and broader community
activities and needs - Researchers on the scientific/resource committees
and protocol teams about community identified
research needs and making research assessible to
a diverse community - Cross-network
- Read as much as you can to prepare yourself for
conference calls, scientific committee and
protocol team participation - Ask questions if you do not understand
- Be willing to work as a volunteer along side
other volunteers and professionals - Respect confidentiality
75Where do we go from here?
- More work, fewer dollars, work smarter
- Keep defining mission
- Shared resources
- Joint studies/Collaborations
- Perinatal longitudinal follow-up
- Adolescent/adult
- Mental health
- Adolescents
- International research
76Getting Involved Why?
- New challenges and job satisfaction
- Global peer group
- Contribute to the larger group
- Personal fulfillment
- Your voice heard!
77Getting Involved How?
- Attend open sessions at large group meetings
- Get to know Investigators
