This virtual, two-day workshop showcased the innovative and radical strategies of community-led research governance across Canada. The first day consisted of panel presentations by Indigenous and urban communities who shared their experiences with research, their community-based research ethics governance strategies, and their perspectives on how to re-envision current systems of research oversight for meaningful community involvement. This event was recorded and is available in English and French. The second day provided interested communities, researchers, and those working in the research ethics space with the opportunity to join each other in conversation. We had breakout group and big group discussions on the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, challenges, opportunities and resources, and finally, recommendations to secure greater community involvement in research governance. Summaries of the discussions are available at in English here and en français ici.
