DIVERSITY MONITORING

Filling in the Additional Details form is mandatory, but you can choose to select “prefer not to say” for all questions if you wish.
  
Why are we collecting this data? 
As a DTP, our responsibility includes ensuring that equality, diversity, and inclusion are prioritised and upheld at every phase of the Training Grant, following UKRI and MRC guidelines for equality, diversity, and inclusion www.ukri.org/about-us/policies-standards-and-data/good-research-resource-hub/equality-diversity-and-inclusion/ 
  
What will we do with this data? 
Guided by these policies and TMRP DTP EDI, this form aims to gather information regarding the diversity of our applicants. We’ll subsequently gather data from all interviewees and those offered a studentship to analyse our results. Our goal is to foster a diverse student body, and if disparities exist, we’re committed to taking proactive steps to address them.
 
How will we store this data? 
The MRC DTP Administrative Team will coordinate the process of collecting data. All data submitted is completely anonymous; no name, no email, no way of knowing who submitted. Data will be stored on a SharePoint only accessible by the Administrative Team. 
  
Will this data affect my application? 
No, completing this survey, and providing your diversity data will not affect your application in any way. This survey is not a part of our selection process.
