The Kule Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) and the Calgary Institute for Humanities are committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive research community and recognizes that equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) strengthens the research community and the quality, relevance, and impact of research.

Achieving a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive research environment is essential to creating the excellent, innovative, and impactful research necessary to advance knowledge and understanding, and to respond to local, national and global challenges.

With these goals in mind KIAS and CIH are committed to:

Supporting equitable access to funding opportunities for all researchers
Promoting the integration of equity, diversity, and inclusion-related considerations in research design and practices
Increasing equitable and inclusive participation in our research programming

Through these means KIAS and CIH will work with researchers and the University of Alberta and University of Calgary to develop the inclusive culture needed for research excellence and to achieve outcomes that are rigorous, relevant, and accessible to diverse populations.
