We respectfully submit this public comment in response to the National Science Foundation's proposed information collection request related to the 2019 National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG), published in the Federal Register at 83 FR 27354 by the National Science Foundation on June 12, 2018. We outline the importance of including sexual orientation and gender identity (SO/GI) demographic measures on the NSCG (and related NSF surveys) for advancing the U.S. scientific workforce, and the feasibility and precedent in implementing SO/GI measures in government surveys. The comment is cosigned by 17 scientific organizations and 244 scientists, engineers, and legal and policy scholars.

Over Time

The U.S. Congress writes the legislation that funds the National Science Foundation (NSF). Researchers who seek NSF support may benefit by understanding how Congress views the agency. To this end, we use text analysis to examine every statement in the Congressional Record made by any member of Congress about the NSF over a 22-year period. While we find broad bipartisan support for the NSF, there are notable changes over time. Republicans have become more likely to express concerns about accountability in how the NSF spends its funds. Democrats are more likely to focus on how NSF-funded activities affect education, technology, and students. We use these findings to articulate how researchers and scientific organizations can more effectively conduct transformative science that corresponds to long-term and broadly held Congressional priorities.

Remarks at the opening of a workshop, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and held in Oslo, Norway, from 12-13 May 2015, to discuss the historic place names of the High Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. The visiting students from Penn State University, none of whom had ever before been to Europe, were anxious to hear how Dr. Barr, a native of the United Kingdom, had come to Norway and made a life for herself in a different country with a different language, as a female in a then-largely male universe of polar research, and, in a nation of hunters, as a vegetarian.
