Achieving Gender Equity at Conferences
In 2015, an international conference on quantum chemistry drew a fierce backlash from scientists when it featured only male speakers and chairs. About 1,700 scientists signed a petition on Change.org to change the makeup of the speakers. The result? Conference organizers added 6 female speakers to the agenda (read the coverage).
This was not an isolated case. The lack of gender equity at
scientific conferences persists across the board. There have been several
papers written about the imbalance; there is even a website, BiasWatchNeuro, that tracks the speaker composition at neuroscience
conferences.

Seeking Input on the Need to Enhance Access to NIH Grants Data
NIH has long been
committed to transparency into who and what we fund. We have previously
discussed the value of freely-available web tools that allow
you to gain insight into NIH funding decisions. Award data available via RePORT
and RePORTER, for
instance, include non-sensitive information such as awardee institution,
principal investigator, funding levels, research abstracts, as well as
associated publications, patents, and other project outcomes. Better yet, if
you want to see all of these data all at once, then ExPORTER
allows you to download over 25 years’ worth of such non-sensitive NIH grant
award data.

Update on NIH ’s Efforts to Address Sexual Harassment in Science
Discussions from both the NIH Anti-Harassment Committee and the ACD Working Group strongly endorsed an ethos of transparency and accountability to demonstrate the agency’s serious commitment to addressing harassment and deterring future inappropriate behavior. To bolster that transparency and accountability, we want to be clear that NIH has not and will not just look the other way when accusations come to our attention. In 2018, NIH followed up on sexual harassment-related concerns at more than two dozen institutions resulting in the replacement of 14 principal investigators named on NIH grant awards, disciplinary action...
