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 implemented a process to collect demographic data from
grant applicants for the purpose of analyzing demographic differences
associated with its award processes. Information collected includes the
name, gender, race, ethnicity, disability status, citizenship status,
education, and career data of the respondents.
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 other
respondents.
