Information Session: Addressing EDI and GBA+ in Your NFRF Transformation Letter of Intent

The Division of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation, will hold an information session on addressing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) considerations and gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) in the New Frontiers in Research Fund Transformation competition Letter of Intent.

Place: Governing Council Chamber, Simcoe Hall, 27 King's College Circle

The information session will provide participants with guidance on completing the EDI section of the LOI and will share best practices for team recruitment, training and development, and the creation of an inclusive team environment. In addition, researchers from the University of Toronto will discuss how they have integrated considerations of sex, gender, and diversity into their own research. Presentations will be followed by opportunities for questions and discussion.
