SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Women and Minorities in STEM Booster 
Act of 2012''.

SEC. 2. GRANT PROGRAM TO INCREASE THE PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN AND 
              UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES IN STEM FIELDS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) One of the core missions of the National Science 
        Foundation is ``to achieve excellence in U.S. science, 
        technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education''.
            (2) According to the National Academy of Sciences, STEM 
        education at the undergraduate level is vital to developing a 
        workforce that will allow the United States to remain the 
        leader in the 21st century global economy.
            (3) According to the National Academy of Sciences, in order 
        to maintain scientific and engineering leadership amid 
        increasing economic and educational globalization, the United 
        States must aggressively pursue the innovative capacity of all 
        people in the United States--women and men.
            (4) According to the August 2011 report ``Women in STEM: A 
        Gender Gap to Innovation'', the Department of Commerce found 
        the following:
                    (A) ``According to the Census Bureau's 2009 
                American Community Survey (ACS), women comprise 48 
                percent of the U.S. workforce but just 24 percent of 
                STEM workers.''.
                    (B) ``[B]etween 2000 and 2009, women's share of the 
                STEM workforce remained constant at 24 percent, while 
                their share of all college-educated workers increased 
                from 46 to 49 percent''.
                    (C) ``The ACS data on undergraduate fields of study 
                show that women account for nearly half of employed 
                college graduates age 25 and over, but only about 25 
                percent of employed STEM degree holders and an even 
                smaller share--just about 20 percent--of STEM degree 
                holders working in STEM jobs.''.
            (5) In 2007, underrepresented minority groups comprised 
        33.2 percent of the college-age population of the United 
        States, but only 17.7 percent of undergraduate students earning 
        a baccalaureate degree in a STEM field.
            (6) The Higher Education Research Institute at the 
        University of California, Los Angeles, found that, while 
        freshmen from underrepresented minority groups express an 
        interest in pursuing a STEM undergraduate degree at the same 
        rate as all other freshmen, only 22.1 percent of Latino 
        students, 18.4 percent of African-American students, and 18.8 
        percent of Native American students studying in STEM fields 
        complete their degree within 5 years, compared to an 
        approximate 33 percent and 42 percent 5-year completion rate 
        for White and Asian students, respectively.
            (7) According to the National Action Council for Minorities 
        in Engineering, Inc., no one race or ethnic category will be a 
        majority by 2050, and as the United States works to remain 
        competitive in the world of technological innovation, the 
        United States should address the need to increase the number of 
        individuals from underrepresented minority segments of the 
        population who work in engineering.
