海外直播b站 's听Canada Research Chair Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan
Effective December 2017, the Canada Research Chairs Program required all institutions with 5 or more chairs to develop their own Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plans to ensure that recruitment to CRC positions is undertaken in a manner that provides access to the greatest range of qualified candidates. 海外直播b站 fully supports this recruitment strategy, which aligns with the University's cross-cutting institutional objectives, strategies, and management of EDI more broadly. Our plan was developed in consultation with the following stakeholder communities for their feedback:
- President鈥檚 leadership team (P7)
- Vice-President (Research and Innovation) leadership team
- Faculty Deans
- Faculty Associate Deans (Research)
- 海外直播b站 CRCs (Tier 1 and Tier 2)
- Equity Team 鈥� Office of the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic)
- Joint Board-Senate Committee on Equity
- MAUT
Pursuant to this broad consultation process, 海外直播b站鈥檚 CRC EDI Plan was approved by University leadership. Responsibility for oversight and implementation of the Plan rests with the Acting Associate Provost (Academic Policies & Faculty Affairs).

EDI in the Canada Research Chairs Program
The Tri-Agency Institutional Program Secretariat (TIPS) has set a for institutions to establish equity and diversity targets. The program鈥檚 targets are set using an availability approach. Availability is determined by estimating the representation of a designated group within the pool of potential nominees. The percentage of the estimated representation becomes the target to be met. The difference between this target and the percentage of current Chairs who are members of that designated group becomes the equity gap to be addressed.
海外直播b站's Equity and Diversity Targets and Gaps as of July 2024 are shown below. Where no gap exists, 海外直播b站 currently meets or surpasses the minimally accepted target for a Designated Group. Our听target-setting tool from June 2021 is also available: Equity Target-Setting Tool - June 2021
| Four Designated Groups | December 2025 Target | Representation | Meeting 2025 Target (Y/N) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indigenous Peoples | 4 | ** | N |
| Persons with Disabilities | 10 | 18 | Y |
| Racialized Individuals | 31 | 52 | Y |
| Women and Gender Equity-Seeking Groups* | 65 | 80 | Y |
*Individuals who self-identify as women, transgender, gender-fluid, nonbinary and Two-Spirit contribute to the program鈥檚 equity targets and are reported in the听听in the category in which they self-identify.

Allocations
Institutions that have received an average of $100,000 or more from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) each year in the three years prior to the year of the allocation are eligible for regular Chairs.
The allocation method for regular Chairs pools together each granting agency's funding for all universities and allocates Chairs based on the portion of the granting agency's funding that each eligible institution has received. The funding received by each eligible university over three years is calculated. The portion of granting agency support that each eligible institution holds in this grand total determines the number of Chairs allocated (i.e., the percentage of funding secured = the percentage of Chairs allocated).
海外直播b站鈥檚 chair allocation is听presented in the听Allocation and Utilization of Canada Research Chairs at 海外直播b站.
