The new Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Health Services and Policy Research's Strategic Plan 2021-2026 (CIHR IHSPR 2021) holds potential. Barriers are anticipated, including that commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are tokenistic. This commentary provides four recommendations to support EDI as transformative. First, EDI must start with an honest history of the role of institutions in upholding injustice. Second, performative EDI must be replaced by changes in money, power and resources. Third, data collection alone must never be the end goal of EDI. And fourth, for EDI to be transformative, it must be grounded in praxis, taking direction from communities and movements seeking justice.
新加拿大卫生研究院-卫生服务和政策研究所 2021-2026 年战略计划(CIHR IHSPR 2021)具有潜力。预计会存在障碍,包括对公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)的承诺只是象征性的。本评论提供了四项建议,以支持作为变革性力量的 EDI。首先,EDI 必须从机构在维护不公正方面的历史开始,这需要诚实。其次,必须用资金、权力和资源的改变来取代表现性的 EDI。第三,数据收集本身绝不能成为 EDI 的最终目标。第四,为了使 EDI 具有变革性,它必须立足于实践,从寻求正义的社区和运动中获得指导。
