Why is equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) important in the world of research?

Measures to increase equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility will strengthen the research ecosystem by:

  • reducing systemic barriers and biases experienced by underrepresented and equity-deserving groups
  • promoting research excellence through expanded applicability, which better addresses the needs of a diverse Canadian population
  • improving reproducibility of research findings
  • increasing productivity and innovation through the creation of diverse research labs
