Along with the web-link above, please see our briefing note, attached, for some guidance.<\/p>\n \n UKRI believes \u201cfostering inclusion is essential for a high-performing research and innovation (R&I) system. As the UK\u2019s largest public funder of research and innovation we have a responsibility to ensure the health of the system as a whole, now and in the future. We need a diversity of people and ideas to achieve this<\/i>\u201d.
