The mission of the Community and Scientific Action Board (CSAB) is to provide guidance to the Center for the Study of Community Health (CSCH) and the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) for all community engaged research activities and program development and to provide similar guidance and support to other university centers and programs requesting such support. The CSAB is a new entity formed from merging the Jefferson County Community Participation Board (JCCPB) and the One Great Community (OGC) of the CCTS into one entity.
