Bill overview
The STEM Opportunities Act aims to increase diversity and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields by providing guidance, data collection, and grants to institutions of higher education and federal science agencies. It requires agencies to collect demographic data on grant recipients, implement bias reduction strategies, and support programs aimed at recruiting, retaining, and advancing underrepresented groups in STEM. The NSF is tasked with conducting a survey of STEM faculty demographics and supporting grant programs focused on diversity initiatives.
