Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The PCGL has incorporated Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) from its beginning: the Data Diversity and Inclusion working group aims to build a comprehensive understanding of the diversity in Canadian genomic data collections, identify factors relevant to participation in genomic research for diverse groups, and develop guidance documents for the PCGL’s team members regarding best practices to incorporate EDI principles in genomic research.

The PCGL’s EDI Action Plan was informed by findings from a narrative review of EDI-related institutional documentation in Canada. The goal of the PCGL’s EDI Action Plan for 2025 to 2028 is to outline the PCGL’s commitment to embed EDI principles throughout its community, tools and processes.
