published by the National Science Foundation, Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering 2017 provides that the percentages are particularly low for Black and Hispanic women, who make up 7 percent and 8 percent of the population respectively, but hold only 2 percent of science and engineering occupations. (8) The hacking in 2018 of an all-Black female high school team participating in a NASA competition revealed realities unique to minority women participating in NASA programs and the groundswell of enthusiasm supporting the increased engagement of Black girls in NASA programs. (9) NASA and other science agencies have an opportunity to translate lessons learned from this incident into programs that increase engagement of underrepresented women and girls in its programs. (10) Programs such as the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, and many other Federal programs, have successfully engaged millions of underrepresented and underserved students in STEM fields of study and related outreach and programs. These and other federally supported programs can be helpful in preparing a more robust pipeline of women of color in STEM professions. 3. Report on NASA and NSF Efforts to Support Women and Minority Involvement in STEM fields (a) In General The Administrator of NASA and the Administrator of the NSF shall each conduct a study that includes an analysis and description of ways to increase the participation of minority women within existing programs related to STEM fields carried out by NASA and the NSF, respectively. (b) Contents In carrying out the study required under subsection (a), the Administrators shall consider the following: (1) Scholarships, internships, mentoring, targeted high school competitions, fellowships, faculty assignments, and other support to encourage and engage minority women in STEM areas of study throughout high school, university, graduate education and the acquisition of faculty positions. (2) Resources to ensure minority women participate more
