MRC Diversity in research design: assessing the impact of the policy on researchers and reviewers

Overview

This survey is comprised of the following sections. Some questions are for researchers and others are for peer reviewers (assessors) of research applications. You should answer questions in any of the sections that are relevant to you and can skip those that are not. If all sections are relevant to you, the survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. There are 39 questions in sections 1-4.

1. Questions for researchers about using female and male animals in research
2. Questions for researchers about engaging diverse populations in research involving humans
3. Questions for peer reviewers (including assessors, board and panel members) on using male and female animals in research
4. Questions for peer reviewers (including assessors, board and panel members) on engaging diverse populations in research involving humans
5. Demographic questions
6. Consent to use information you have provided

Why your views matter

Your views can help shape how MRC supports researchers and reviewers to consider diversity in research design.

What happens next

Your survey responses will be used as part of a wider review, to help MRC identify areas where researchers may be experiencing difficulties in practical implementation of the policy and where further support/guidance/training might be beneficial.
