At Lakehead University, compliance with the framework will apply equally to all research, funded or unfunded, carried out by Lakehead faculty members. The workshop will provide you with an overview of the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research guidelines, including the implications of breaches to non-compliance with research security regulations. The workshop will also provide an overview with what constitutes a breach of research integrity and the procedures for investigating breaches as outlined in the LUFA Collective Agreement Article 39: Research Integrity. This workshop is only open to LUFA members.

Registration

Please RSVP attending In-person Thunder Bay, In-person Orillia or Zoom by January 17, 2024 to events.research@lakeheadu.ca; lunch will be provided.

Title: Developing an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy for Tri-Agency Grant Applications
Presenter: Dr. Jocelyn Bel, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion & Health Research Facilitator, Office of Research Services.

About the Session

Tri-Agency grants are now evaluated on the researcher’s ability to incorporate Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) within their research plan. This workshop will provide researchers with an overview of the best practices and strategies for successfully developing an EDI plan for grant applications. Researchers will learn a framework for thinking about EDI in research and connect EDI with various parts of grant proposals. The workshop will also include interactive examples and a chance for researchers to ask questions. Researchers who attend this workshop will be able to:

• Understand how EDI is related to research
• Learn how to implement EDI practices within their research plans and grant applications
• Gain valuable resources (both internally and externally) that will aid them in developing an EDI research plan
• Work directly with the research facilitators in developing a mock EDI action plan for their Tri-Agency.

Attending this workshop is a requirement for researchers who wish to complete the Lakehead University Inclusive Research Leadership Certificate Program.
