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.
