Diversity

Community Organizations

Mayo Clinic supports many diversity-related organizations throughout Florida, including:

Community Research Advisory Board
The Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) was developed under the leadership of Floyd B. Willis, M.D. The board acts to:

• Review research protocols and provide feedback to investigators about their proposed study design based on diverse perspectives
• Advise on strategies for recruitment of diverse populations to research protocols

Community members represent multicultural backgrounds and various professions. CRAB assisted in the development, planning and execution of a conference that identified and addressed health disparities in the Jacksonville area.
