<p>The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is funded by the Department.
As a public authority, the Department is required to adhere to the Public Sector Equality
Duty in line with the Equality Act 2010. The Department takes its obligations under
the Equality Act very seriously, specifically in ensuring that we give due regard
to the impacts on people with protected characteristics. The NIHR Equality, Diversity
and Inclusion Board is leading work on equality impact assessments and their applicability
to the NIHR. A decision on whether and where to apply equality impact assessments
will be made as a result of this work.</p>
