Science : Last year, three members of the US House of Representatives asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to evaluate the six largest grant-giving federal agencies for gender discrimination in the grant process. In the GAO’s initial analysis, they found that the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and NASA did not track that information. Last week, the DOD announced that it found no legal objection to collecting that information and would work to determine how to most effectively do so. Neither DOE nor NASA has yet responded to the request to track gender data of grant applicants.
