description: Many academic researchers want to partner with service providers who work for not-for-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) because they mitigate the gap between researchers and groups considered hard-to-reach. Although, literature exists on community-based participatory research (CBPR) practices, and the need to partner up with CBOs when doing research with marginalized communities, more research is needed on CBO staff’s perspectives and experiences of what ethical, valuable, and needed research is, for the communities they represent. The purpose of this thesis was twofold: (a) to examine the ethical experiences of CBO staff engaging with research; (b) to generate recommendations for ethical research practices with CBOs. Interpretive description (ID) was used during this secondary analysis, which drew upon 16 anonymized transcripts from in-depth interviews with CBO staff from a larger project examining ethical and methodological challenges within health research with people engaged in sex work (PESW). To help understand the complex dynamics of research ethics in practice as experienced by CBO staff, I drew on central tenets of relational ethics as described by Bergum (2013) for my theoretical underpinnings. Data was analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis (TA) approach, as described by Braun & Clarke (2006; 2019), because it provided a rich and detailed description of the experiences of CBO service providers, while generating new knowledge. This analysis revealed three themes including: (a) CBOs and research relationships, (b) motivations for research engagement, and (c) recommendations for ethical research. Several implications for future research, including concluding recommendations are made at the end of this thesis.
