The Faculty of Medicine’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan “Leading Innovation for a Healthier World” can only be achieved by creating a research environment where the values of inclusivity, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA) are embedded.
On this webpage you will find the necessary training opportunities and resources to successfully address EDI criteria in your day-to-day research practices and in grant applications.
These dashboards provide data on the demographic composition of uOttawa members (students, academic staff, clinicians, staff) by faculty or unit. This information is critical to the EDI context analysis required in research proposals to be submitted to the Tri-agency.

Description:
Knowledge translation (KT) efforts are essential to making research processes and findings useful and valuable. Much Indigenous health research and KT continues to be taught, developed, designed, regulated, and conducted in ways that do not prioritize local Indigenous Peoples’ ways of sharing knowledges. In this presentation, we will share key findings and recommendations from a systematic review on Indigenous health research KT globally; highlight what KT has to offer Indigenous communities, sharing examples of KT done well; and propose future directions for advancing KT in Indigenous health research. The presenters assert that KT is inherent to Indigenous health research that is authentically by, for, and with Indigenous Peoples.

Sex and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA Plus) is an analytical process that considers the diversity of human identities and experiences. Incorporating SGBA Plus methodologies in our research processes can allow us to identify and address potential biases and inequities in our research design, data collection and analysis. By improving research relevance and applicability, an SGBA Plus approach can lead to insights that may have been overlooked otherwise.
Research Management Services is pleased to welcome you to a virtual (Zoom) discussion on SGBA Plus. Professors Christine Gibb and Vivian Welch have accepted our invitation to speak to their expertise. They will discuss interdisciplinary perspectives on SGBA Plus and share concrete examples of SGBA Plus methodologies.
We look forward to a conversation about incorporating SGBA Plus into our research practices. Join us for this opportunity to hear from researchers with experience in the field, engage in thought-provoking discussions and connect with peers from diverse disciplines. Please register here and take your research to the next level with SGBA Plus!
