We are committed to providing equality of opportunity, eliminating discrimination, and developing a diverse research community.
Since 2023, we have invested in a joint fellowship with The Daphne Jackson Trust to support individuals returning to research after a career break due to illness, caring or family responsibilities. As well as financial support, the Fellowship offers retraining and mentoring which helps the recipient to develop the skills and the confidence necessary to pursue a successful and valuable career in research.
From 2024, we have begun collecting statistics on the gender, ethnicity, disability and caring responsibilities of research applicants. Findings from this will be used to inform future EDI initiatives.
