EDICa - Equality Diversity and Inclusion Caucus

为了在研究和创新方面实现全球卓越，研究人员必须带来经验，专业知识和想法的多样性，这需要改变排斥边缘化研究人员的文化和结构，以满足UKRI的英国人才计划。我们对平等，多样性和包容性核心小组（EDICa）的愿景是推动包容性研究文化的创建，使不同的研究人员能够在研究和创新（R&I）系统中获得并发展事业。EDICa将促进对边缘化研究人员生活经历的理解，为那些传统上被排除在外的人创造研究生涯的希望和可能性，同时想象一个不同的研究世界，其中嵌入公平。在三个工作流中工作：1。职业生涯和生命周期，2。EDICa将承担并领导一项研究计划，以促进R&I系统的EDI。EDICA将综合证据，以确定现有理解和EDI实践中的差距以及需要紧急研究的领域。我们还将通过一个灵活的基金委托研究，该基金将解决证据审查中发现的差距，并开展我们自己的研究计划，以促进EDI扫盲，使工作场所和月经失调的研究人员能够参与。此外，EDICa将通过管理灵活的基金，在三个工作流程中委托研究项目，特别欢迎那些有边缘化生活经历和早期职业研究人员的申请。与边缘化的研究人员和更广泛的关键利益相关者共同设计是EDICA所有活动的核心。通过与利益相关者参与团体合作，EDICa将创建实践社区，这些社区不仅将塑造EDICa的工作（包括传播），而且还将在整个R&I系统中创造增加EDI知识和能力的遗产。EDICa将与主要利益攸关方共同设计一个培训材料、证据库、最佳做法和互动多媒体的在线工具。该工具，研究与创新职业平等（埃里卡）将在三年的资助期内迭代设计，最终于2025年正式推出。

To achieve global excellence in research and innovation, the research workforce must bring a diversity of experiences, expertise and ideas which necessitates the change of the cultures and structures which exclude marginalised researchers in order to meet UKRI's UK-wide talent programme. Our vision for the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) is to advance the creation of inclusive research cultures enabling diverse researchers to access and thrive in careers across the research and innovation (R&I) systems. EDICa will advance understanding of the lived experiences of marginalized researchers, creating the hope and possibility of a research career for those traditionally excluded while imagining a different research world which embeds equity. Working across three workstreams: 1. the career and life cycle, 2. the research process and 3 the organisation of work, EDICa will undertake and lead a programme of research to advance EDI across the R&I systems. EDICa will synthesise evidence to identify gaps in existing understanding and EDI practice and areas in need of urgent research. We will also commission research via a flexible fund which will address gaps identified in the evidence reviews and conduct our own programme of research to advance EDI literacy, enabling workplaces and the inclusion of researchers living with menstrual disorders. In addition, EDICa will commission research projects across the three workstreams through the management of a flexible fund, with applications from those with lived experience of marginalisation and early career researchers particularly welcomed. Co-design with marginalised researchers and wider key stakeholders is at the heart of all of EDICa's activities. By working with stakeholder engagement groups, EDICa will create communities of practice who will not only shape the work of EDICa (including dissemination) but will also create a legacy of increased EDI literacy and capabilities across the R&I systems. EDICa will co-design, with key stakeholders, an online tool of training materials, evidence bases, best practice, and interactive multimedia. This tool, Equity in Research and Innovation Careers (ERICa) will be co-designed iteratively throughout the three year funding period, culminating in a formal launch in 2025.
