Summary: | In January 2023, the University of Oxford published the report Equity and Inclusivity in Research Funding: Barriers and Delivering Change. The report investigated and identified the systemic barriers and challenges that individuals in marginalised groups face to secure research funding. It also set out recommendations for how Universities and funders could make their funding schemes and systems more equitable and accessible to a diverse range of researchers, thinkers, and innovators. While many of the recommendations may be readily implemented by organisations acting unilaterally, several require coordinated action by universities and funders working together to deliver sector-wide change.
