The NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center, a partnership between NYU Langone and the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, is guided by its Community and Translational Advisory Board, a group of key academic research, governmental, and community partner leaders who lead strategic development, evaluation, and decision-making.

The Community and Translational Advisory Board provides a mechanism for garnering internal and external feedback and guidance, leveraging institutional resources and activities, and engaging major stakeholders.
