At Royal Papworth Hospital, we want everyone to feel included in our research. We know it’s important to involve people from all different backgrounds so that research can be helpful for everyone. We know it’s important to include underrepresented groups, as defined by the NIHR , in research. This helps make sure research is representative and accessible to all.
What does Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in research mean?
-
Equality: Ensuring everyone, regardless of background, can participate in and benefit from research by removing barriers.
-
Diversity: Representing a broad range of backgrounds, making findings more generalisable and relevant to real-world healthcare.
-
Inclusion: Creating a supportive environment where all participants feel valued, especially those from underrepresented groups, to shape research priorities and design.
Incorporating Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) into research practices leads to more meaningful, representative, and impactful results that enhance health outcomes for all.
