• Community Advisory Board (informs APIYVPC of community perspective)
• APIYVPC infrastructure (refers to the internal infrastructure that is necessary to conduct the proposed APIYVPC as well as expertise of the multidisciplinary staff to implement the proposed program)
• CDC and Inter-Center collaborations (reflects interchange and collaborative opportunities with CDC and other violence and injury centers)
• Executive Committee (serves as the APIYVPC’s decision-making body)
• Scientific Advisory Board (consists of local & national experts who will provide advice on the scientific aspects of the APIYVPC’s activities)

Motivating Conditions for Developing and Maintaining Relationships refer to conditions such as mutual benefit, trust, expertise, community acceptance, mana‘o (knowledge) of the community, and sharing of resources. Two-way arrows show connections between the Priorities, 10 entities indicated, and Motivating Conditions.
