Inclusive research design to become an NIHR condition of funding

The NIHR are making Inclusive research an NIHR condition of funding.

The changes to ensure research inclusion

Applicants will be required to demonstrate how inclusion is being built into all stages of the research lifecycle including, but not limited to:

• the research question and design
• the participants recruited
• the research methods
• data collections
• analysis
• dissemination of findings

There will be a significant emphasis on how participant selection is considered. Applicants will provide details of how their research contributes towards NIHR’s mission to reduce health and care inequalities and how it expands on existing evidence. This will be a costed section of the award that must be accounted for.
