Abstract:
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has made a public commitment to diversity in science. However, recent demographic data from the Endeavour Fund, their largest, contestable research fund, indicates that this espoused commitment has not resulted in any meaningful action. This viewpoint explores the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's diversity statement against the demographic data from the 2021 Endeavour Fund round. We offer potential solutions to address the significant lack of diversity in who applies to and gains funding from the Endeavour Fund.
