impact the lives of women and girls and to ensure that Federal programs
and policies address and take into account the distinctive concerns of
women and girls, including women of

color and those with disabilities. Furthermore, EO 13506 points
specifically to the fact that women are still significantly
underrepresented in the science, engineering, and technology fields. In

women and girls to pursue careers in the science, technology,

internship opportunities. The program is administered by the DOT OST
Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).
