CCBR worked with the Senior Leadership of Food Banks Canada (FBC) to develop a Theory of Change guided by stakeholders across Canada.

In partnership with Dr Zack Marshall (and his research partners, the Pacific AIDS Network), CCBR co-designed participatory research to 1) document how the COVID-19 crisis was impacting the lives of peer researchers in HIV community based research and 2) identify how to minimize the indirect consequences of the pandemic by highlighting key recommendations for academic researchers, staff working in HIV community-based organizations, and peer researhers themselves. Data collection included a series of arts-based, popular education informed virtual focus groups with peer researchers across Canada. Project recommendations were mobilized through established communities of practice.
