Propels: Writing REDI into Grants: From Tokenism to Impact

March 4, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

More and more funding agencies — from CIHR and NSERC to NIH — require clear, meaningful articulation of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI or REDI) in grant proposals. But many researchers feel uncertain about what to say, how to say it, or how to ensure it reflects actual practice.

This seminar offers a practical guide to embedding REDI language into research grants in a way that is funder-aligned, ethically grounded, and reflective of real research design choices. Trainees and faculty will review real (anonymized) examples, workshop strong language, and leave with templates and a checklist they can apply to their next submission.

Registration is required. Link TBA.

Presenters: Calvin Kuo from SBME REDI,  co facilitated by Maï Yusae

Location: TBA
