Within the Community Engagement Core, my role is to establish the Translational Advisory Boards (TABs) in 5 counties of the south central region. The work of the TABs is to serve as a representative body in the community which aim to improve community health through the facilitation of community-based participatory research and educational outreach and research dissemination in partnership with Practice Based Research Networks and the UT School of Public Health. The overall aim of community engagement is to improve human health by transforming research and training environments to enhance efficiency and quality of clinical and translational research.
