Improving STEM Mentorship and Misconduct Reporting in Higher Education.

This law establishes a new grant program through the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund projects aimed at improving mentorship quality for faculty, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers in STEM fields. It also mandates that research institutions receiving federal funds must implement clear processes for reporting harassment, discrimination, and professional misconduct. The goal is to enhance research quality and create a safer, more equitable academic environment, particularly at institutions serving underrepresented groups.
