We have been working with an external trainer to deliver some general and bespoke sessions in UB - Dr Pete Jones, and we also have a leading expert on it within our University - Professor Jenny Saul - who is Director of the Implicit Bias Project.  You may already be familiar with them, but if you felt it might be helpful to talk through your project with them at this stage, and/or pick their brains, I am sure they would be very happy to do so.  In particular, Pete has some good tips around R&S.
