Review Process:
Executive Committee will perform a preliminary review to assure that the research volunteer directory is not being unduly pressed, and the studies have opportunity to succeed.
CLRC Co-leaders will present the research project to the Community Advisory Board (CAB) members.
CAB members may submit questions to the researchers in order to clarify specific aspects of the research project, especially those regarding cultural sensitivity and recruitment practices. Questions from CAB members can be addressed in person, via videoconference, conference call or in writing.
CAB members may send recommendations to researchers.
CAB members will evaluate and recommend approval or rejection of the revised research protocol.
Upon approval of the research protocol by the CAB and Executive Committee, MCCFAD personnel will: 1) send information about the approved research project to people in the Directory; or 2) share de-identified data with the researcher; or 3) share contact information separated from data, whichever applies.
Completed applications should be sent to [email protected].
