Tri-Agency Resources

Tri-Agency Recognition of Dimensions at TMU

Dimensions: Recognition program

During the pilot phase, participating institutions applied for Dimensions recognition, to be assessed on how actions have been taken to lay the foundations for transformation of the institutional equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) research culture and how such change has become a reality.

There are four stages of recognition intended to reflect the journey of carrying out EDI work and achieving success.

  • Stage 1 – Foundation
  • Stage 2 – Construction
  • The institution is strategically addressing EDI in a coordinated way. It has likely completed one full cycle of Dimensions work..Has conducted honest and thoughtful engagement; has put mechanisms and systems in place to collect required data and to conduct required analysis; has developed and begun work on a five-year action plan, but has not yet made significant progress on the identified priorities.Early stage of strategically addressing EDI in the institution’s communities (internal and external) is underwayHas begun the process of engaging with other institutions and establishing connections and relationships, reflecting the principle of mutuality; this includes, if available at this early stage, sharing promising practices and collaboration on addressing common challengesHas provided more comprehensive evidence (greater depth and breadth) in each of the five categories of the assessment framework, as compared to the Foundation.
  • Stage 3 – Consolidation
  • Stage 4 – Transformation
