Incorporating Lived Experience into Federal Research Practices
Many federal agencies are exploring options to engage people with lived experience in federally funded research and evaluation. This session will describe how a community advisory board (CAB) can fulfill this need, how to convene a CAB in the federal research context, and lessons learned from the perspectives of one project’s CAB members, research firm staff, and federal staff. Speakers will describe and share lessons learned from the Advancing Contextual Analysis and Methods of Participant Engagement (CAMPE) project, funded by the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and implemented by Urban Institute.
