What Demographic Information Does NIH Collect on Researchers, and How Is It Used?
NIH collects demographic information including sex, ethnicity, race, and disability status from researchers as part of their eRA personal profile. Providing demographic information is voluntary and an option exists to select “Do not wish to provide” for each category.
