Not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, and at least every 5 years thereafter, the Director of the National Science Foundation shall carry out a survey to collect data from grantees on the demographics of STEM faculty, by broad fields of STEM, at different types of institutions of higher education. To the extent practicable, the Director of the National Science Foundation shall consider, by gender, race, ethnicity, citizenship status, and years since completion of doctoral degree— the number and percentage of faculty; the number and percentage of faculty at each rank; the number and percentage of faculty who are in nontenure-track positions, including teaching and research; the number and percentage of faculty who are reviewed for promotion, including tenure, and the percentage of that number who are promoted, including being awarded tenure; faculty years in rank; the number and percentage of faculty to leave tenure-track positions; the number and percentage of faculty hired, by rank; and the number and percentage of faculty in leadership positions.
The Director of the National Science Foundation, may, in modifying or expanding existing Federal surveys of higher education (as necessary)— take into account the considerations under subsection (a)(2) by collaborating with statistical centers at other Federal agencies; or award a grant or contract to an institution of higher education or other nonprofit organization to take such considerations into account. The Director of the National Science Foundation shall publish statistical summary data collected under this section, including as part of the National Science Foundation’s report required by section 37 of the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1885d ).
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Director of the National Science Foundation $3,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2020 through 2022 to develop and carry out the initial survey required under subsection
(a).
