• • This interactive module is designed to promote an understanding of unconscious bias and how it can affect the peer review process. It will also provide strategies for mitigating bias during the review process.
     
• • Engendering Success in STEM (ESS) is a research partnership with the shared goal to foster women’s inclusion and success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). We bring together social scientists, STEM experts, and stakeholders in STEM industry and education. Our goal is to use an evidence-based approach to break down the biases girls and women face on their pathway to success.
     
• • This guide is provided as a tool for institutions to use as they determine how best to address areas for improvement identified when assessing their work environment, and to develop their equity, diversity and inclusion action plans.
     
• • Definitions of what constitute Career Interruptions and Personal Circumstances for the CRC program.
     
• • SSHRC has developed these guidelines to ensure that the merit review of Indigenous research upholds SSHRC’s principles for merit review. These guidelines are intended to supplement the SSHRC Manual for Adjudication Committee Members, but might also be used by applicants, external reviewers and the postsecondary institutions and partnering organizations that support Indigenous research.
     
• • This Tri-Council plan, co-developed with Indigenous Peoples, addresses key principles of self-determination, decolonization of research, accountability and equitable access. 
  • - Defines appropriate use of Tri-Council funds.
     

EDI Practices for Team Composition and Training

• • NSERC report that includes key definitions and questions to consider when incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion in research.
     
• • This guide helps support NFRF applicants and reviewers, and the research community, in achieving greater equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in their research.
    
     

Diversity in Research Design

• - SSHRC guidelines that should be used as a reference for applications related to Indigenous research
   
• • This Tri-Council plan, co-developed with Indigenous Peoples, addresses key principles of self-determination, decolonization of research, accountability and equitable access. 
  • - Defines appropriate use of Tri-Council funds.
     

• Indigenous Community Research Partnerships  is an online open education training resource.  It is designed to assist researchers who are new to research in partnerships with Inuit, Métis and First Nations (“Indigenous”) communities, or who are researchers-in-training, to:

  • Operationalize required regulatory policy requirements and research directives;
  • Ensure equitable inclusion of Indigenous and Western-oriented knowledge in research systems;
  • And, in the case of Indigenous-specific enquiry, to privilege or give primacy to Indigenous ways of knowing and doing.
• Learn more about these modules 
   
• - CIHR website that provides an overview of key terms, online training, and key resources for researchers 
  • - CIHR website outlining key considerations for the appropriate integration of sex and gender in research.
  • - Women and Gender Equality Canada.
  • - Women and Gender Equality Canada webpage that provides examples of how "gender-based analysis plus" (GBA+) can be applied to different workplace issues. 
    • GBA+ training - Status of Women Canada training course on GBA+
       
• • A Sex and Gender Champion is a researcher who possesses or acquires expertise in the study of sex as a biological variable and/or gender as a social determinant of health. This page will describe the best practices for including a Sex and Gender Champion in your projects.
     
• • GBA+ is an analytical process used to assess how diverse groups of women, men, and gender diverse people may experience policies, programs and initiatives. The “plus” in GBA+ is not just about differences between biological (sexes) and socio-cultural (genders). We all have multiple characteristics that intersect and contribute to who we are. GBA+ considers many other identity factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, age, and mental or physical disability and how the interaction between these factors influences the way we might experience government policies and initiatives.
     
• • The seven modules included in this toolkit introduce key concepts, definitions, and short video lectures from research experts on integrating sex and gender into a variety of research methodologies – from secondary data analysis to concept mapping. Case studies, knowledge reviews, and short quizzes all help reinforce the described steps and strategies.
     
• • Gendered Innovations harness the creative power of sex, gender, and intersectional analysis for innovation and discovery. Considering these approaches may add valuable dimensions to research. They may take research in new directions.
     
• • By considering differing views, ideas and approaches, equitable and inclusive practices help promote research excellence that better addresses the needs of a diverse Canadian population.
     
• • A SSHRC guide that provides for researchers to draw on when incorporating EDI considerations in the development of their partnerships and conceptualization of their research projects. The guide was originally developed in connection with Partnership Grants and may need to be adapted accordingly by non-PG applicants.  This resource uses EDI as an overall term that encompasses two approaches: EDI in research practice (team composition and trainee recruitment, inclusive work environment, equity in mentoring and training) and EDI in research design (incorporating intersectionality, GBA+, anti-racist approaches, and disaggregated data collection and analysis into research design).
