Intergenerational Interdisciplinary Research
What is IIR?
EDI refers to principles for creating fair, respectful, and supportive environments in research.
Equity refers to removal of systemic barriers, ensuring that everyone has opportunity to participate in research.
Diversity acknowledges the presence of differences within a group or society. This can include differences in race, gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and other attributes that make individuals unique.
Inclusion ensures that everyone feels valued and included. It is about creating culturally safe environments where diverse individuals can fully participate and contribute.
Inspiring researchers through EDI principles to diversify the research team and meaningfully engage lived experience partners whose experiences and insights will influence research outcomes.
