Disability Policy
This policy aims to provide eligible Research Ireland-funded grant holders and their Research Ireland-funded team members with supplementary budget for the costs of required, eligible reasonable accommodations where those costs are not available via other existing funding mechanisms.
Research Ireland is committed to increasing the engagement of Historically Underserved Communities in the design, conduct, and evaluation of research, as well as minimising barriers to participation in the research endeavour.
