I've submitted a few applications lately for federally-funded postdocs which ask for gender, birthdate, and race right on the coversheet required to accompany the application. One postdoc even has a first stage process where you send in an initial application with the above prohibited questions (two of them helpfully note "optional" right next to them; gender isn't, apparently) before they send you the real application.
These are not the same as the EEOC forms which are sent separately, as they also include dissertation information, advisor, degrees, etc.
Why are they asking these questions? What's the implication of skipping them?
