The CRBS is committed to providing an inclusive, diverse, and equitable working environment for everyone affiliated with our research center.  In collaboration with the Fonds de Recherche du Québec, we have developped an EDI Action Plan and have established a Standing EDI Committee composed of both CRBS faculty and trainees. 

​

Please explore  the content of this website to find information on upcoming EDI activities and initiatives, annual EDI progress statements, a webform for submitting anonymous suggestions, and links to other EDI-themed resources.

Please also feel free to send any questions, suggestions, or comments to crbsedi.med@mcgill.ca  Your comments will be kept anonymous.
