Description

In FY 2014, U.S. universities received nearly $25 billion in federal grant funding for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) research. Studies show that women are very underrepresented in STEM fields. Federal agencies are required to enforce Title IX -- a law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs receiving any federal financial assistance -- including at universities they fund. This report examines: (1) the extent to which differences exist in federal grant awards between women and men in STEM fields; (2) the extent to which federal agencies enforce Title IX at universities they fund for STEM research; and (3) possible actions federal agencies could take to address the representation of women in STEM research. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
