The Elder Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of key stakeholders of state, federal, and non-profit and for-profit local organizations serving vulnerable older adults in the greater Boston area. Members of the CAB meet 3 times per year to help identify “big questions” in healthy aging, assist with engagement and dissemination of research plans and findings, translation review, healthy aging forums, website and online communications to constituencies, identification of community partners, and help with gathering formative data.
The CAB advises NUCare investigators as well as the Boston Roybal Center for Active Lifestyle Interventions (RALI) at Brandeis University (PI: Margie Lachman). Click to download the PDF of current RALI pilots.
