Join the Ethnic Minority Research Inclusion (EMRI) Network
Inclusive research for all communities
The Ethnic Minority Research Inclusion (EMRI) Network works to make health and care research fair, accessible, and valuable for everyone. Now part of Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, EMRI connects researchers and communities to ensure that research works for all people, from all backgrounds.
The Ethnic Minority Research Inclusion Network believe that for research to be effective, it needs representation from all communities, across all types of studies. If something works, they want to know it works for everyone.
Their work programme and priorities are shaped by feedback from both the research community and local communities, with the goal of making research more open and accessible.
