Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted child care and early education (CCEE) programs and the families they serve. During the pandemic, researchers working in CCEE programs paused and then shifted their research strategies to adapt to the new context. In April 2023, Child Trends hosted a virtual convening with researchers from nine research projects funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) to discuss the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their research. Researchers also shared their reflections on how adaptations to their research processes or methods could be used in future research studies. This brief shares key takeaways from these discussions, including: (1) Researchers shifted from in-person research activities to virtual or remote research activities during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) Researchers provided examples of how they revised recruitment processes during the pandemic; and (3) Researchers experienced challenges ensuring equitable participation in research studies.
