Research Community Advisory Board

Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Research Community Advisory Board for the Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School Clinical Research Center (RCAB) is to assure that the voices of those affected by HIV in New Jersey are incorporated into all aspects of the program. This includes, but is not limited to the design of clinical trials, educational activities, and operations of the program.

Vision Statement:

We believe that through appropriately conducted clinical research, “getting to zero” HIV infections, zero HIV related deaths and zero HIV stigma is possible. We believe that research, education and advocacy contribute in a meaningful way to achieving these ends.
