Positive Action in Research Funding
In this webinar, the team behind the Positive Action in Research Funding Framework will introduce its principles and lead an exploration of its content through a postgraduate research lens. There will be opportunity to consider the practical application of the framework in the postgraduate context, and to engage in a Q&A.
Building on the University of Oxford’s work on Equity in Research Funding, the Positive Action in Research Funding Framework and guidance has been produced by a cross-sector working group which forms part of the Equity in Research Funding Forum. The Forum brings together research organisations and funders to focus on equity in the context of research funding, specifically seeking opportunities to work in collaboration to make a positive difference.
The framework is aimed at those responsible for the approval, design, implementation and evaluation of research funding schemes and associated initiatives within research funders and research organisations, and endeavours to:
- To provide a supportive resource focusing on potential positive action interventions related to research funding, showcasing case studies which demonstrate positive action in practice.
- To empower practitioners to effectively advocate for positive action.
