Example 1 of E&DI in Funding
The School of Medicine received specialist assistance for their annual 'General Medical Council' equalities report and compliance to the Scottish Government and the SFC:
“The input from the University’s E&D Officer was very useful and a vital part of the success of our application to the ‘Scottish Government’s International Development Fund’. Many public bodies and grant awarding organisations now include E&D aspects and requirements to their funding criteria, so addressing these is vital for successful funding applications.
The E&D Officer is a one-stop shop for advice and information on these issues, and will even complete the relevant part of the forms for you. There is a huge repository of knowledge and expertise, which I urge everyone to take advantage of”.
