HRA Update: Get involved in the Inclusion and Diversity guidance pilot
Date: 23 June 2025
In September 2024 The HRA launched an informal consultation to ask for feedback on the first draft of their newly developed guidance for how to develop an Inclusion and Diversity Plan.
The Inclusion and Diversity Plan is a document to be developed by sponsors and researchers when planning a clinical trial or investigation.
The set of questions in our guidance will help researchers and sponsors to consider and demonstrate how they will include a diverse range of people that is relevant for their trial when developing their study.
The HRA now have a second draft of the guidance, and they are looking for sponsors and researchers to take part in the pilot, which will involve developing a Plan and submitting it as part of an application for review by a Research Ethics Committee.
