Community Advisory Board

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a committed group of experts who gather in the spirit of building partnerships and infusing a community perspective into the UF Health Cancer Center’s research agenda. The CAB plays a vital role in collaborating with the center’s leadership team and members to ensure our work focuses on cancer-related issues that are critical to the communities we serve. By working together to increase clinical trial enrollment, deepen community outreach, and expand access to care, we can advance cancer prevention, detection, and treatment.
