Wrexham University Researcher Development Concordat Network and MO:SAIC (Multicultural Opportunities: a Supportive, Accessible, Inclusive Community Network) are pleased to announce the launch of the Race Equity and Research Inclusion Award, an internal funding opportunity that reflects our strong institutional commitment to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable academic and research community.

The Race Equity and Research Inclusion Award is designed to support and advance the research careers of Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic academic staff and postgraduate research students at Wrexham University. We aim to ensure all researchers feel empowered and supported in progressing their careers in line with their personal and professional aspirations. Applicants are encouraged to propose research activities across any theme or discipline. There are no restrictions on the area of research; what matters is how the activity contributes to your development as a researcher.

Key evaluation criteria: advance the applicant’s personal and professional development as a researcher, the quality and feasibility of the proposed activities, potential career development, anticipated research outputs and publications, and the wider benefits to the research community at Wrexham University.

ONE award of £2,000 is available.

Successful applicants will be required to submit a progress report to the Research Office by the 31st July 2027.

All funding through this award MUST be spent by the 1st July 2027.

Please note that only ONE applicant will be successful
