A key part of our research strategy is to reduce health inequalities by supporting everyone to have the same opportunities for improved cancer outcomes no matter who they are or where they live within Yorkshire.

Award Holders are expected to maximise inclusion of, and engagement with, populations often underrepresented in research, such as minority ethnic populations and deprived communities.

We understand that this can present additional considerations and challenges for researchers, however, there is increasing activity in this area and a growing body of resources available to support researchers.
