Help inform diversity in experimental design

The Medical Research Council (MRC) have launched a community survey on Diversity in Research design and conduct, the results of which will support a review of MRC policies in the area, including on the inclusion of sex as an experimental variable in the design and analyses of animal and in vitro studies.

The scope of the survey covers community perceptions and as well as benefits and barriers to take-up for considering of aspects of diversity in research involving human participants, animal subjects and in vitro work.

The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and closes on 8 August.

The MRC are hoping to reach a broad section of the biomedical research community, so please feel free to share this among researchers at your institution if relevant.
