Oxford Biomedical Research Centre EDI Lunch & Learn – Equality Impact Assessment and Inclusive Research Design

Stephanie Perrin, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer at the Agile Initiative, will be talking about Equality Impact Assessment and Inclusive Research Design. The session will be online.

An Equality Impact Assessment (EIA) is a way to identify the possible impacts of a research project or decision. Researchers can use this tool to understand the effects of their work on trial participants or members of the research team, based on their protected characteristics, and mitigate potential negative impacts and promote positive ones.

Completing an EIA helps ensure that research processes are fair and do not present barriers to participation. It is a great way for researchers to embed equality, diversity and inclusion through all stages of their projects, be it research design, engagement or participant selection.

In this talk, Stephanie will explain why EIAs are important, how to use them and how you can apply them to your research to demonstrate how you have considered inclusion. There will be an opportunity to ask questions.
