Funded projects
The various funded projects together inform the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Research Centre's approach to develop a clear framework of how to incorporate EDI within research practices here at the University of York.
Projects funded through the EDI Research Fund scheme
Within its EDI Research Fund scheme, the EDI Research Centre funded three research projects which prioritised EDI-informed research practice (inclusive research methods and methodologies), fostered EDI reflective practice, and focused on dismantling systemic inequities through and within research.

Project funded through the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Funding Scheme
Jointly funded by the Administrative Fairness Lab.
The active involvement of the public in research practice is a pillar of research into societal issues. This was the impetus for our PPI funding scheme. The funded project supports the policy needs identified by the wider city of York, and aids the Centre in exploring how to maximise research impact in an EDI-informed manner.
- Investigators: Abby Gilsenan, Dr Vanita Sundaram and Dr Nathalie Noret.
- Project interim report: Identifying barriers to including young men and boys in gender-based violence research and school-based interventions (ALLIES project pilot)
