AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that federal science agencies and institutions of higher education receiving federal research and development funding are fully engaging their entire talent pool. It directs the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to provide guidance to federal science agencies on policies for supporting researchers with caregiving responsibilities, collect and report data on federal research grants, and implement policies to minimize the effects of implicit bias in the review of federal research grants. The bill also requires the National Science Foundation to collect data on the demographics of STEM faculty, conduct research and dissemination activities, and provide grants to institutions of higher education to recruit, retain, and advance underrepresented minority STEM faculty and implement reforms to increase the number of underrepresented minority students receiving STEM degrees.
