What does a CAB do?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The CAB is independent of the research facility, voluntary and community driven.\u00a0 Members can be as active as they chose. They create a robust link between their community and clinical research. Most of the work of the CAB is conducted via email but a CAB can meet as often as they deem necessary, typically 4 times a year.<\/p>\n
