  text: ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance
    of incorporating diversity into research projects, focusing on both how they are
    conducted and their content. Funding organizations have started to require that
    research applicants pay attention to inclusion and diversity by considering gender
    dimensions and other diversity factors in their project plans and ensuring gender
    equality during execution. Based on an extensive literature research and expert
    discussions on how to develop and implement diversity strategies in large collaborative
    research projects, we argue that there is a lack of practical advice in existing
    literature. Drawing from our own experiences in conceptualizing and implementing
    a Diversity Program across four universities in Germany, we propose a framework
    for effectively integrating diversity into collaborative research initiatives
    across various academic fields.
