The Graduate Affirmative Action Monitor (GAAM) aims to track and analyze notices from graduate programs and resolutions from public universities that implement affirmative action (AA) in their selections. The website, launched in 2022, contains a database of notices from all graduate programs with AA, resolutions from universities that have implemented this measure in graduate studies, as well as articles and other materials on the subject.

By 2023, the project aims to develop six new surveys on the subject:

1. Preparation of a document containing guidelines on the main characteristics of affirmative action in graduate studies;
2. An interactive map on the Monitor’s website to locate each state’s affirmative action programs;
3. A survey to identify which areas of knowledge in the CAPES evaluation consider inclusion policies. The results of this survey can be used to help other areas of knowledge include this topic in future evaluations.
4. A survey of federal court decisions that have challenged public university notices and/or resolutions on affirmative action. The results of this survey can help to provide legal certainty for programs and universities that are implementing these policies or are still in the discussion phase in their collegiate bodies.
5. Monitoring the affirmative actions created in 2022 by public programs and universities, broadening the scope to include professional master’s degree courses, as well as preparing a research report and updating the website’s base of public notices and resolutions;
6. Detailed survey of students entering federal universities through affirmative action.
