1. To synthesise extant evidence (including peer reviewed literature, grey literature, data from funders) to identify gaps in the evidence, and to develop insights and recommendations for key stakeholders (including the funders) on EDI practice and policy.
2. To conduct a programme of co-designed research which aims to advance the EDI literacy of key stakeholders, co-create enabling research workspaces and advance understanding of the gendered aspects of disability in research careers (specifically problematic menstruation and perimenopause).
3. To commission, via a flexible fund, research and impact projects which create a step-change in EDI across the research & innovation systems.
4. To create, via stakeholder engagement groups, communities of practice, highly skilled in EDI practice.
5. To undertake a co-designed multimedia and multimethods approach to disseminating EDI in research and innovation evidence, best practice, profiles of successful researchers (and their research) and case studies via a robust programme of community engagement activities, culminating in the production of an interactive web-tool Equity in Research and Innovation Careers (ERICa).
