Inclusive Research Award

This award honours researchers and research organisations that prioritise inclusivity. For example, research initiatives ensuring inclusion in their methodologies, focus areas, or collaborative approaches beyond the research topic itself. Nominations should highlight research initiatives that have consciously integrated inclusive practices, amplifying the voices of socially disadvantaged groups, and producing actionable insights that serve diverse communities. Initiatives by the communities and diverse groups conducting research itself are welcome!
