awards
(a) Assessment of policies
Federal research agencies shall regularly as-
sess, and update as necessary, policies, and prac-
tices to remove or reduce cultural and institu-
tional barriers limiting the recruitment, reten-

review of Federal research applications.
(b) Considerations and activities
In carrying out the requirements under sub-
section (a), Federal research agencies shall—

groups historically underrepresented in STEM
in peer-review panels and consider approaches
for expanding their participation;

faculty
(a) Collection of data
(1) In general
Not later than 5 years after August 9, 2022,
and at least every five years thereafter, the
Director of the National Science Foundation
shall carry out a survey to collect data from
award recipients on the demographics of
STEM faculty, by broad fields of STEM, at dif-
ferent types of institutions of higher edu-
cation that receive Federal research funding.
(2) Survey considerations
To the extent practicable, the Director of
the National Science Foundation shall survey,
by sex, race, socioeconomic indicators, which
may include employment status, occupation,
educational attainment, parental education,
and income, geographic location, ethnicity,
citizenship status, and years since completion
of doctoral degree—
(A) the number and percentage of faculty;
(B) the number and percentage of faculty
at each rank;
(C) the number and percentage of faculty
who are in nontenure-track positions, in-
cluding teaching and research;
(D) the number and percentage of faculty
who are reviewed for promotion, including
tenure, and the percentage of that number
who are promoted, including being awarded
tenure;
(E) faculty years in rank;
(F) the number and percentage of faculty
to leave tenure-track positions;
(G) the number and percentage of faculty
hired, by rank; and
(H) the number and percentage of faculty
in leadership positions.
(b) Existing surveys
The Director of the National Science Founda-
tion, may, in modifying or expanding existing
Federal surveys of higher education (as nec-
essary)—
(1) take into account the considerations
under subsection (a)(2) by collaborating with
statistical centers at other Federal agencies;
or
(2) make an award to an institution of high-
er education or nonprofit organization (or con-
sortia thereof) to take such considerations
into account.
(c) Reporting data
The Director of the National Science Founda-
tion shall publish statistical summary data col-
lected under this section, including as part of
the National Science Foundation’s report re-
quired by section 1885d of this title.
(d) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to the
Director of the National Science Foundation
$4,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2023 through 2025
to develop and carry out the initial survey re-
quired under subsection (a).

panding the academic and Federal STEM
workforce
(a) Best practices
(1) Development of guidance
Not later than 12 months after August 9,
2022, the Director, in consultation with the
interagency working group on inclusion in
STEM and utilizing existing guidance already
developed by Federal research agencies where
applicable, shall broadly disseminate to enti-
ties that receive Federal research funding best
practices for—
(A) conducting periodic climate surveys of
STEM departments and divisions, with a
particular focus on identifying and address-
ing any cultural or institutional barriers to

**(a) Collection of data**
(1) **In general** — Each Federal research agency shall collect, as practicable, with respect to all applications for merit-reviewed research and development awards made by such agency, standardized record-level annual information on demographics, primary field, award type, institution type, review rating, budget request, funding outcome, and awarded budget.
(2) **Uniformity and standardization** — The Director, in consultation with the heads of each Federal research agency, shall establish, and update as necessary, a policy to ensure uniformity and standardization of the data collection required under paragraph (1).

(B) *Previous data* — As part of the first submission under subparagraph (A), each Federal research agency, to the extent practicable, shall also submit comparable record-level data, if it is available to the agency, for the five years preceding the date of such submission, or an analysis for why such data cannot be provided.
