Inclusivity within research participation is important to enable engagement with underrepresented groups. Researchers can use the links below for guidance on how to promote equality and diversity within their research:
- NHS Increasing Diversity in Research Participation: A good practice guide for engaging with underrepresented groups. Its purpose is:
- To help researchers understand why research participation might be low in a group
- To provide meaningful insights into working with groups where participation in research is low
- To provide practical suggestions to increase participation in research
- UKRI Guidance for equality, diversity and inclusion. Outlines principles for promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, with links to useful sources of information and guidance on supporting diverse and inclusive research and innovation.
- Research Design Service Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Toolkit. This resource has been developed to support researchers to better understand how to embed EDI in research design and to meet the NIHR’s EDI requirements. The toolkit advocates for best practice which goes beyond the NIHR’s current requirements.
