The CTBScience Community Engagement Core is a centralized unit within the Center, designed to assist investigators with community engagement in basic human subject and clinical trial research. The Community Engagement Core also provides consultation on engagement methodology including recruitment and retention guidance, community liaison services, and facilitates the CTBScience Community Advisory Council. 

To date, the CTBScience Community Engagement Core has assisted in the development of community partnerships with both local and state-wide collaborators toward research initiatives aimed at addressing health equity issues and reducing disparities in marginalized and underrepresented populations.
