Hosted by the National Institute for Health Research
To improve the quality and impact of the research that NIHR funds, researchers must demonstrate how their research tackles health and care inequalities and overcomes barriers to diverse and inclusive research participation.
To support researchers, the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) has developed an EDI toolkit to support researchers to consider and embed EDI at each stage of their research project, from inception through to dissemination, implementation and impact.
This 90-minute webinar introduces the new EDI toolkit and is a valuable starting point for researchers seeking to develop more inclusive research proposals.
This webinar is aimed at NIHR-funded researchers and NIHR staff who support and review the EDI aspects of funding applications.
The webinar will cover:
- why EDI is important in applied health and social care research
- what the NIHR EDI toolkit is and why it has been developed
- practical guidance, tips and resources on how to embed EDI at all stages of your research, including forming your research team, patient and public involvement, sampling, data collection, and data analysis and presentation.
