Our Community Advisory Board (CAB) provides initial community reactions to research ideas, projects and community engagement plans to university researchers. These are called Reactive Barometer Sessions.
Reactive Barometer Session Expectations
Contact us
Researchers or research teams interested in presenting an idea or project to our CAB should contact Hilary Broughton at hilary.broughton@wustl.edu.
Session
A Reactive Barometer session is 60 minutes divided into the following sections:
IntroducE (15 minutes)
- Explain your research in plain language.
- Why are you coming to the Board?
- How do you anticipate that this research will help individuals in St. Louis communities?
Listen (35 minutes)
Each CAB member will have two uninterrupted minutes to provide initial reactions to your idea or project.
Converse (10 minutes)
The final 10 minutes will be free flow dialogue between the CAB and research team.
Follow up
After the Reactive Barometer Session, we expect that you will follow up to let us know how your project is going and how/if our feedback was valuable to your work:
- Brief evaluation to be completed within one month of your session via REDCap
- Brief project update to be completed six months after your session via REDCap
- Brief project update to be completed 12 months after your session via REDCap
