• Provide an update about the NSF, NIH, and NASA requirements incorporated into the terms of research grants
• Review the current regulatory requirements, and new mechanisms for complainants to report outside their own institution
• Discuss each policy’s potential impact, and the extent of their implementation
• Discuss how requirements in research grants related to discrimination could be used to leverage change in behavior
• Reflect on the differences between University action versus action by federal agency
