Developing my team

Research organisations and research funders recognise the gaps that need to be addressed concerning EDI within the research environment.

There is a need to reduce these gaps with deliberate and conscious action from the researchers who:

  • Lead teams and recruit new team members
  • Enable training and development opportunities
  • Establish inclusive governance structures that include advisory boards, selection panels and relevant research governance and management structures.

Useful resources

The Government of Canada website has comprehensive sections focusing both on recruitment as well as training and development of team members. 

The EPSRC Table of Expectations, which is relevant to the entire UKRI, has specific Expectations 2, 3, 4 and 5 focusing on recruitment, environment training and development considerations.
