If you’re applying for tri-agency (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) scholarship, you’ll likely be asked whether EDI considerations are applicable to your research proposal, and if yes, describe and explain it throughout your written plan. Reviewers will look carefully at your answers.
There is an increasing number of cited studies that would have or have benefited from considering identity factors in the research design and process. A good source for such examples is CIHR’s “Impacts of integrating sex and gender in research” and the Stanford University Gendered Innovations project.
Be sure to access the resources provided by the tri-agency when writing your research proposal:
- Status of Women Canada online GBA+ module
- CIHR: How to integrate sex and gender into research
- NSERC: NSERC guide on integrating equity, diversity and inclusion considerations in research
- SSHRC: Guide to Addressing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Considerations in Partnership Grant Applications
