As part of HBHL's commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, our applications for funding require a description of the manner in which your project and/or the activities of your research team advance McGill's commitment to equity, diversity, & inclusion.
Examples of practices you may wish to refer to in your response, and implement if you have not already:
- Measures for proactive recruitment of staff, students and trainees with diverse experiences, identities, and perspectives.
- Ensuring that you and members of your team understand and respect the rights and duties set by McGill's Policy on Harrassment and Discrimination Prohibited by Law听and Policy against Sexual Violence.
- Communicating to team members your commitment to a positive, respectful, and inclusive work and learning environment and modeling that commitment through your engagement with colleagues and students/trainees.
- Providing equitable access to opportunities for staff, students and trainees related, for example, to mentoring, accessing resources and data, fieldwork, authorship, or conferences and networking.
- Setting and communicating clear and reasonable expectations for staff and students/trainees that reasonably account for and accommodate particular needs (e.g., in connection with family care or health).
