All of these are current studies subsidised by the UK Research and Innovation via its nine research councils:
EDI+ Research And Innovation Network+ For Equality, Diversity And Inclusion In The Energy Research Community (Durham University)
Funded Value: £1,006,945
Funded Period: Oct 22 – Jan 27
Funder: Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
“The vision for the EDI+ network is to acknowledge and address key challenges and equip a cohort of researchers and their organisations to make lasting changes towards a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible research community. This will have impact beyond the academy and set a precedent, offering the means to tailor EDI action among the diverse organisations participating in energy research. It garners the best of scientific and social science evidence and critical approaches from the humanities to put EDI challenges in appropriate perspectives and make them available for action.”
EDICa – Equality Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (Heriot-Watt University)
Funded Value: £3,676,371
Funded Period: Jan 23 – Dec 26
Funder: Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)
“To achieve global excellence in research and innovation, the research workforce must bring a diversity of experiences, expertise and ideas which necessitates the change of the cultures and structures which exclude marginalised researchers in order to meet UKRI’s UK-wide talent programme. Our vision for the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) is to advance the creation of inclusive research cultures enabling diverse researchers to access and thrive in careers across the research and innovation (R&I) systems. EDICa will advance understanding of the lived experiences of marginalized researchers, creating the hope and possibility of a research career for those traditionally excluded while imagining a different research world which embeds equity.”
