NIHR has committed to making sure that the research we fund is designed, delivered, and disseminated in an inclusive way. As such, we have recently introduced inclusive research design as a condition of funding for our UK-based research programmes. In the near future, we are looking to introduce equivalent conditions for our infrastructure programmes.

We want to invite a member of your ARC team to take part in a focus group to help inform the development of inclusive design conditions in infrastructure. This is your chance to have your say in how NIHR implements the new conditions, what they cover, and how we might support researchers and organisations in their applications for Infrastructure funding.
