Grant Proposal Support

Many international funders require diversity and inclusion considerations in research proposals. We help research teams integrate these components to strengthen competitiveness.

Major funding bodies, including the European Commission's Horizon Europe program, the European Research Council (ERC), national Heart Foundations, and other international funding organizations, now require applicants to demonstrate how their research addresses diversity, gender balance, and inclusion.

Funding calls increasingly request:

• Integration of sex and gender dimensions in research
• Inclusion of diverse and representative study populations
• Consideration of health inequities and vulnerable groups
• Stakeholder and community engagement strategies
• Plans for inclusive dissemination and impact

Embedding diversity and inclusion in research proposals strengthens both the scientific quality and the competitiveness of grant applications.
