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.
商业、创新与就业部已公开承诺在科学领域实现多元化。然而，其最大的可竞争研究基金——奋进基金最近的人口统计数据表明，这一公开承诺并未带来任何有意义的行动。本文观点对照2021年奋进基金轮次的人口统计数据，探讨了商业、创新与就业部的多元化声明。我们提出了一些潜在的解决方案，以解决申请奋进基金并获得资助的人员严重缺乏多样性的问题。
