Abstract: | This paper focuses on the role conundrums that confront action researchers who are engaged in co-inquiry designs for purposes
of generating knowledge that is both actionable and makes a robust contribution to a more generalized body of knowledge. Drawing
on the lived experience of researchers in such a project in U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, this paper describes the conundrums
that confronted the researchers, identifies the central dynamics around which they seem to be organized, and discusses the
impact on the subsequent practice of the researchers. Practices that establish reflexivity in the research process are an
important part of the role of the researchers. So too is establishing relationships that provide for sensemaking and integrating
rigor and relevance.
