The short answer to that is no. This is a tool that we use to collect information on applicants. It is completely voluntary. You can refuse to respond to the questions in it if you wish. It is not used in the peer review process, but it helps us better understand who is applying, what their background is and how the outcome of the peer review process turned out for them so that we can better monitor or better understand where there are systemic biases in the system.
