diversity.¹⁷⁶ Xerox now uses an online evaluation tool developed by a data analytics firm to assess applicants, in addition to conducting interviews, to determine which applicants are most qualified for available jobs.¹⁷⁷ In developing this new assessment process, Xerox also learned that previous similar employment experience—one of the few criteria that Xerox had explicitly prioritized in the past—turns out to have no bearing on either productivity or retention.¹⁷⁸
In addition, state and local government entities are using big data to help underrepresented communities obtain better municipal services. For example, states are using big data to identify the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals and to create more tailored approaches to reduce health disparities impacting these individuals.¹⁷⁹ And big data was used to convince a city to redraw its boundaries to extend city services to historically African-American neighborhoods.¹⁸⁰ As these examples show, organizations can use big data in ways that provide opportunity to underrepresented and underserved communities.

Summary of Research Considerations
--------------------------------------------------- Unstructured Sub-Title End


In light of this research, companies already using or considering engaging in big data analytics should:
Consider whether your data sets are missing information from particular populations and, if they are, take appropriate steps to address this problem.
Review your data sets and algorithms to ensure that hidden biases are not having an unintended impact on certain populations.
Remember that just because big data found a correlation, it does not necessarily mean that the correlation is meaningful. As such, you should balance the risks of using those results, especially where your policies could negatively affect certain populations. It may be worthwhile to have human oversight of data and algorithms when big data tools are used to make important decisions, such as those implicating health, credit, and employment.
Consider whether fairness and ethical considerations advise against using big data in certain circumstances. Consider further whether you can use big data in ways that advance opportunities for previously underrepresented populations.

Could the FDA please clarify exactly what hazards they are anticipating that are uniquely associated with intentional genetic alterations that introduce no novel DNA sequences, and how they suggest off target alterations should be distinguished from spontaneous mutations and sequencing errors?

The Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grant (BRAG) program and the AFRI Foundational program: Agricultural Economics and Rural Communities – Social Implications of Emerging Technologies play an essential role in fulfilling the mission of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Proper acknowledgment of your USDA BRAG and AFRI funding in published manuscripts, presentations, press releases, and other communications is critical for the success of our USDA's programs. This includes proper acknowledgment of the Program and agencies, as well as that of the Department and grant number (Please note that the ‘####-#####-#####’ below refers to your award number and not your proposal number).
We expect you to use the following language to acknowledge USDA/NIFA support, as appropriate:
'This work is supported by Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grant Program competitive grant award no. ####-#####-##### from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’ or 'This work is supported by Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program competitive award no. ####-#####-##### from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.’
For details regarding acknowledgment of NIFA’s support, please see the following webpage: https://nifa.usda.gov/acknowledgment-usda-support-nifa
We also expect that you will use our agency's identifier in all of your slide and poster presentations resulting from your BRAG or AFRI award. Please see: https://nifa.usda.gov/resource/official-nifa-identifier, for details about the appropriate identifier to use.
