4. Further discussion on EDI strategy

   - Note input from U.Manitoba EDI discussion via M.Gericke:

   First things first, develop an equity commitment statement that guides your
   research, hiring plan using best practices to inclusive advertisement, data
   collection to assess diversity, implicit bias training, diverse search
   committees and proactive communication.

   One possibility is something similar to the first sentence of the EDI
   section of the proposal:

   The CINP is committed to ensuring equitable access to its resources and
   promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in the nuclear physics community in
   Canada, recognizing that this will contribute to more robust research
   outcomes.
