Abstract

In accordance with the requirements of the 2021 Presidential Memorandum on Restoring Trust in Government Through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-based Policymaking, EPA is revising our Scientific Integrity policy. The updated policy will adopt a new Federal definition of scientific integrity and meaningfully strengthen several policy elements that will help ensure a culture of scientific integrity at the Agency. It will be a more detailed policy as it will incorporate the model scientific integrity policy from the National Science and Technology Council A Framework for Federal Scientific Integrity Policy and Practice (2023), lessons learned over the years, and the results of our previous surveys of EPA staff on scientific integrity. The policy aims to ensure the integrity of all aspects of activities that include proposing, conducting, reviewing, managing, communicating about science and scientific activities, and using the results of science. It will continue to be used to enhance and promote a culture of scientific integrity at EPA.
