Not looking good for me (or Chaowei)...

this report came out today in Science...

Race, Ethnicity, and NIH Research Awards

"...After controlling for the applicant’s educational background, country of origin, training, previous research awards, publication record, and employer characteristics, we find that black applicants remain 10 percentage points less likely than whites to be awarded NIH research funding."

Looks like we have a lot of work to do to change the paradigm.
