It was reported in The Free Press that "more than 10 percent" of NSF grants from 2021 through April 2024 "prioritized attributes of the grant proposals other than their scientific quality" when evaluated by a search algorithm that "used a variety of terms associated with social justice, gender, race, environmental justice, and individuals belonging to underrepresented group." Over 10% of all funded grants in the given time period fit the classification criteria for prioritizing DEI-related attributes, including 27% of grants from January to April of 2024. https://www.thefp.com/p/dei-national-science-foundation-grants-report

On X (Twitter), Cremieux, who is known for his expertise in statistical methods, reached out to the GOP committee that produced the report, which said it would make the data available upon request. Assuming he receives the data, Cremieux will likely do his own probing and analysis of the data. https://x.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/1844209156238262715

Assuming Cremieux receives the data within the next year, what will he conclude is the most reasonable conclusion from the data regarding the percentage of funded grants that prioritized DEI-related attributes in the full period from 2021 to April 2024? If it's unclear what he thinks, then I will judge for myself based on his posted analysis.

@SteveMichaels If reanalysis never happens, do the first three questions (Yes, Yes, No) resolve all no?

@yetforever Exactly!
