On March 2, 2011, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson introduced a bill that would promote women in science. The Fulfilling the Potential of Women in Academic Science and Engineering Act of 2011 seeks to reduce or eliminate gender bias in grant funding from the Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) by conducting a series of workshops conducted at least once every two years. The Act would also require the National Science Foundation to provide demographic data of grant awardees to include: gender, race, age, and tenure/rank.
If you support this bill, reach out to your congressional representative: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml.
