7 Women's Colleges and Universities received $5 Million. These prizes "seek to address the significant national gender gap and disparate experiences of women in STEM in the United States, both in higher education and the workforce" and were "created in response to the White House Executive Order 14035 “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce”".
