EDI, Decolonization & Accessibility Support

We support scholars across Western in meaningfully embedding EDI, decolonization and accessibility considerations in research proposals, as well as helping researchers find ways to enhance training experiences for highly qualified personnel (HQP) and to create a more inclusive environment for diverse members of their research team.

Western Research provides the following specific services and supports to the campus community:

  • Providing reviews and consultations on funding application drafts;
  • Offering tailored presentations and workshops to help researchers better understand – and meaningfully incorporate – principles of EDID in your research proposal; and
  • Collaboratively working with faculty and institute research officers in supporting scholars with EDID requirements in grants.
