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.
