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

Attending and participating in this workshop is a prerequisite course for researchers who wish to complete the Lakehead University Certificate in Inclusive Research Leadership Program.
