New toolkit on the GCRF Gender Equality Statement

Edinburgh Research Office has launched a new toolkit designed to help Principal Investigators (PIs) complete the Gender Equality Statement, which is a compulsory part of the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and Newton Fund application process.

The GCRF Gender Equality Statement requires researchers consider five issues:

  1. Have measures been put in place to ensure equal and meaningful opportunities for people of different genders to be involved throughout the project? This includes the development of the project, the participants in the research and innovation and the beneficiaries of the research and innovation.
  2. The expected impact of the project (benefits and losses) on people of different genders, both throughout the project and beyond.
  3. The impact on the relations between people of different genders and people of the same gender. For example, changing roles and responsibilities in households, society, economy, politics, power, etc.
  4. How any risks and unintended negative consequences on gender equality will be avoided or mitigated against, and monitored.
  5. Whether any relevant outcomes and outputs are being measured, with data disaggregated by age and gender (where disclosed).

The toolkit draws on existing best practice in the development sector. It explains key terms, provides illustrative examples and maps out a how PIs can respond to each of these five requirements.
