Supporting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in your Research Group and Research Activities (FOS)

How can we create more inclusive environments which attract, retain, support, and promote diverse research trainees? We are increasingly being asked to explain how we will do this (e.g. HQP section of an NSERC Discovery Grant). This document provides a list of simplified and actionable ways to get started. This is not a comprehensive list and further on you will see sections entitled “Supporting Equity,” “Supporting Diversity,” and “Supporting Inclusion,” where there are more detailed descriptions, with explanations of steps and actions that you can take.
