The University at Buffalo Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Community Advisory Board was established to inform the CTSI about community priorities and offer suggestions about how it can better align research with those priorities. The Board guides the CTSI on how to build authentic community-university relationships and foster trust for engaging our community in all phases of clinical research.
