SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
A federal grant is an award of financial assistance from a federal
agency to a recipient to carry out a public purpose of support or
stimulation authorized by a law of the United States. The NASA
Procurement Office supports NASA research, science, and education
communities through the award of research/education/and training grants
in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. NASA
has a continuing commitment to identify and address inequities
associated with its grant review and awards processes. To support that
commitment, NASA is implementing a process to collect demographic data
from grant applicants for the purpose of analyzing demographic
differences associated with its award processes. Information collected
will include name, gender, race, ethnicity, disability status, and
citizenship status.
Submission of the information is voluntary and is not a
precondition of award. However, if the information is not submitted, it
will undermine the usefulness of information received from others.
