Disability Matters will transform health research and environments through a paradigm shift to disability as the driving subject of inquiry.

We will develop anti-ableist and anti-disablist approaches to scholarship; broadening health research priorities, innovating research methodologies, promoting inclusive research environments, encouraging more positive disability representations and building a new generation of disabled and disability-focused health researchers. Our programme of work will generate transformative equity, diversity and inclusion knowledge; thus supporting Wellcome’s strategy to lead the science and health sector in challenging ableism and disablism in the practices and cultures of health research.
