Abstract The Mayo Clinic Center for Clinical and Translational Science Rural Health Research Core emphasizes community engagement to address healthcare access and delivery. In 2023, the Midwest Rural Health Research Community Advisory Board (CAB) was established to guide research. Eleven of 13 researchers presenting to the CAB in 2023 completed a survey assessing influence of CAB feedback across seven domains. All reported >1 domain influenced by CAB feedback, most commonly on study design, pre-research activities and implementation. CAB feedback shaped many aspects of the rural health research process. CAB members valued seeing how their input contributed to the research process.
