AbstractProfessional neuroscience organizations have recently pledged their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion in examining institutional discrimination; to raise questions about how to train underrepresented scientists; and to recruit underrepresented subjects for a more equitable scientific enterprise in the 21st century. Studies have illuminated racial disparities in funding, likely because of implicit bias in the review process and differential access to resources. We propose that one concrete way to monitor and redress these disparities is to collect and publicize data on grantees by gender, race, ethnicity, and location from neuroscience funding agencies. Beyond remedying historical disadvantages, disseminating funding more equitably across recipients would be an empirical solution that can improve the very quality of neuroscience.Copyright © 2020 the authors.
