"We Need To Be at the Table": Collaboration with Lived Experts.

Background: The recognition of lived experience as an asset has led to increased involvement of individuals most affected by social or medical conditions in research.

Objectives: This paper presents an example of a LE advisory group that co-conceptualized and executed a knowledge mobilization project on aging and homelessness within three Canadian cities (Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal).

Methods: We established the advisory group, determined the group's priorities and objectives, and fostered community engagement through webinars and in-person events.
