Regional Working Groups

The Regional Working Groups (RWGs) allow Community Educators and Community Advisory Board (CAB) members from similar geographic areas to participate in group discussions focusing on their shared challenges. The regional groups support local exchange regarding community participation, education, sensitization and partnership.  Each RWG convenes on a bi-monthly basis via conference call.

The purpose of the Regional Working Groups (RWGs) is:

  • To identify local community involvement issues
  • To identify network-wide issues at all levels of research
  • To identify technical assistance and training needs
  • To advise the CWG on local site and community issues
