Much has been said about CAB or CAG as an interface between the research team and the community. However, to function as an interface, there is a need to properly define their roles. viz – a viz, core function and oversight function, which should be guided by a global or regional goal, stratetgy and principles but with adoption based on the local situation of the clinical research sites for instance of the region as a whole. Issues of compensation or payment or re-imbursement or logistics need to be sorted out through meetings to reduce attrition and promote synergy between the member and the research team and between CAB and the community.
