SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    A federal grant is an award of financial assistance from a federal 
agency to a recipient to carry out a public purpose of support or 
stimulation authorized by a law of the United States. The NASA 
Procurement Office supports NASA research, science, and education 
communities through the award of research/education/and training grants 
in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. NASA 
has a continuing commitment to identify and address inequities 
associated with its grant review and awards processes. To support that 
commitment, NASA is implementing a process to collect demographic data 
from grant applicants for the purpose of analyzing demographic 
differences associated with its award processes. Information collected 
will include name, gender, race, ethnicity, disability status, and 
citizenship status.
    Submission of the information is voluntary and is not a 
precondition of award. However, if the information is not submitted, it 
will undermine the usefulness of information received from others.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic.

NASA, including whether the information collected has practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including 
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be

information on respondents, including automated collection techniques 
or the use of other forms of information technology.
