The White Coats for Black Lives and# ShutDownSTEM movements have galvanised biomedical practitioners and researchers to eliminate institutional and systematic racism, including barriers faced by Black researchers in biomedicine and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In our study on Black–White funding gaps for National Institutes of Health Research Project grants, we found that the overall award rate for Black applicants is 55% of that for white applicants. 1 How can systems for allocating research grant funding be made more fair while improving their efficiency? Some have argued for funding proposals by partial lottery: winners are chosen randomly among applications that pass a round of peer review designed to cull the weakest proposals. 2 The hope is that this approach would “eliminate or at least alleviate” bias. 2 Our view is that lotteries can still unintentionally perpetuate notable racial disparities. Our study finds Black–White disparities, even in the preliminary criterion scores for Significance, Investigator, Innovation, Approach, and Environment, which explain disparities in preliminary overall impact scores. 2 These overall scores establish which proposals are dropped before panel discussion,“the decision point that makes the largest single contribution to the funding gap”. 3 Thus,
