As part of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), we at Research Design Service (RDS) London are committed to actively and openly supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

We have convened an internal research group to address EDI both within the RDS London workforce and to make sure these principles run through the support we offer clients.

Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in research fund

We are pleased to announce that we are widening our Equity, diversity and inclusion bursary to applied health, public health and social care researchers across London. Find out more about the EDI fund and apply.

More on EDI

We will share more detail of our local and national EDI initiatives in due course. For now, you can access our helpful EDI resources including our RDS EDI toolkit and the national RDS blog on Equality, diversity and inclusion in health and social care research: COVID-19 and beyond.
