Abstract
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Survey of Earned Doctorates, an annual census of all newly minted US PhDs since 1957, has been a cornerstone in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) diversity efforts (1). Along with NSF’s other national workforce surveys, the Survey of Earned Doctorates provides critical data needed to document underrepresented groups in STEM and determine their eligibility for funding and federal resources. However, NSF’s surveys do not include sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions, despite the alarming disparities that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people face in US STEM fields (2).
