MDHS Diversity and Inclusion Grants support academic staff to undertake scholarly-based work that contributes to the implementation of our Faculty’s culture of equity, diversity and inclusion, for all staff and students.

Examples include but are not limited to: research into the enablers and barriers for the career progression of staff with diverse personal attributes, experiences and backgrounds; or research into mitigating bias that can inform continuous improvements to our Faculty’s approach to assessing academic performance, including for promotion. These are only examples and applicants are encouraged to bring their own personal aspects and insights to their applications.

The Faculty of MDHS awards two grants each round. Grants include a maximum award of $25,000 for salary and research-related expenses.
