Response

Response Sent: 22 March 2024

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) hold information relevant to your request. Please see the information below.

We note that you have sent the same request to several research councils. All the research councils, Innovate UK and Research England have been brought together under UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). As this is the case, all your requests were handled as a single request from UKRI.

UKRI does not centrally offer unconscious bias training, however, some research councils and centres, institutes and units will commission their own training dependent upon local needs.

As a result of this, during financial year 2022/23 a total of 34 staff undertook unconscious bias training, at a total cost of £2,484 (inclusive of VAT).
