Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, conventional research methods for engaging communities, such as in-person focus groups, were impeded by pandemic-related public health measures, including physical distancing and self-isolation mandates. Researchers were forced to adapt their plans and align with measures to protect themselves and their community partners. To learn about their experiences conducting community-engaged research amid the pandemic, we hosted a roundtable with 10 researchers in British Columbia, Canada. We explored their successes, challenges, and ethical considerations to identify lessons learned. From the roundtable, we found that community-engaged researchers faced several barriers to conducting research in partnership with community, including challenges in building sustainable relationships. However, the pandemic required researchers to find innovative ways to engage with community partners, enhance the reach of their partnership, and center the lived and living experiences of priority populations. We conclude with recommendations to support community-engaged research in future health crises.
