University of Kansas Professor of Economics Donna Ginther was the lead author on the study commissioned by the NIH, which appears in the Aug. 19 issue of Science.

@koreykruse You can perceive the race of an individual from his/her name, and to an extend, his/her Alma Mater.

Do grant applications have a spot to identify race or do people think that the NIH is looking up the photos of the applicants to determine their race? Or is the accusation that black scientists aren't as qualified and deserving of grants?
