DSIT, UKRI and devolved bodies, should:
⬆️ drive improvements to research culture, through the REF and narrative CVs.
📊 collate sources of UK research workforce EDI data to understand inequalities.
👩‍🔬 tackle disparities to develop the UK R&D workforce needed to deliver the UK Industrial Strategy.

The government can learn from our approach – to collect better data to enable more evidence-based initiatives to address gaps and improve culture.

This week, Cancer Research UK have published our 5-year strategic approach to EDI in research.

This is our evidence-based approach as a funder to promote a positive, fair and inclusive culture to foster an environment where our researchers and excellent research can thrive.

Cancer Research UK Policy @crukpolicy.bsky.social · 5d

Beating cancer is a huge challenge.

So we need to attract and retain the most talented researchers from a broad range of backgrounds, who can help to support innovative ideas so that more people affected by cancer benefit from our discoveries.
