NASA Grant Application Demographic Data

The Federal Government has a continuing commitment to monitor the operation of its review and award processes for grants, and identify/address potential inequities relative to the Civil rights laws of the United States. One of NASA's strategic goals is to ensure all qualified proposers are evaluated based solely on the quality of the proposal submitted. Through this information collection, NASA is requesting demographic data based on gender, race, ethnicity, and disability. The targeted respondents are the proposed Principle Investigators/Co-Investigators to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and NASA implementing regulations. Collecting this demographic data will provide insight into the grant award process at NASA. The collection of this information is consistent with practices at other agencies such as the NASA Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Regarding the nonmaterial or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection, the pdf version of the NF-1839 form originally approved will not be used to collect responses and was a prototype for the electronic form that was developed. Screen shots of the electronic form are provided with this submission. There was no change to the supporting statement.
