Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Research
Design and Implement
EDI in Research Team
The Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team in Research Services supports all members of the UCalgary research community to effectively embed EDI in research design, practice, and administration. Our approach is always strengths-based and appreciative, grounded in research and informed by the evidence and experience of advising hundreds of researchers on embedding EDI into research excellence. We can advise on the development of EDI statements and action plans for tri-council funding opportunities and support implementation of institutional EDI Action Plans in the research ecosystem, including Canada Research Chairs, Dimensions EDI, and the EDI Plan for Research and Teaching Awards.

Nothing About Us Without Us
This idea draws from disability, racial justice and Indigenous activism, which insist that any initiative involving EDG group members must be developed by and co-constituted through direct engagement with them.
One Size Does Not Fit All
We recognized the importance of this notion, along with eschewing the practice of standardized or formulaic approaches to EDI and accessibility. This repudiation is crucial to designing and co-constituted policy approaches by, with and for members of each Equity Deserving Group (EDG).
