Dimensions Canada grant awarded to inclusive research project

The University of Calgary has been awarded a $100,000 Dimensions Canada grant for the project “Building Architecture of Inclusive Research Excellence (BAIRE): Leadership, Governance, Responsible Assessment, and Impact in the Canadian Research Ecosystem.”

For project co-lead Dr. Malinda Smith, associate vice-president (Research-EDI) and professor of Political Science, this grant is an opportunity to share UCalgary’s proven practices for inclusive research excellence and determine how they can be scaled up to drive meaningful change at other Canadian institutions.

“The University of Calgary has been on a journey of inclusive research excellence for many years,” says Smith. “We are committed to having an inclusive research ecosystem where we identify all talent, and we support everyone to succeed, which is why our institution is, in turn, so successful.”
