The Scientific Integrity Act amends the America COMPETES Act to establish robust scientific integrity policies for federal agencies involved in scientific research. It requires each "covered agency," defined as one that funds, conducts, or oversees scientific research, to adopt and enforce a comprehensive scientific integrity policy within 90 days, subject to approval by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). These policies must be publicly available and submitted to Congress, ensuring transparency and accountability in government science. The bill's core provisions prohibit actions such as dishonesty, fraud, suppression, alteration, or interference with scientific findings , and any intimidation or retaliation against individuals for failing to alter scientific information. Conversely, the policies must protect the right of "covered individuals"—federal employees or contractors engaged in scientific activities—to disseminate their findings, participate in scientific discourse, and contribute to peer review processes. It mandates that scientific conclusions are not based on political considerations and that personnel actions for non-political appointees are free from political or ideological bias. To ensure effective implementation, each covered agency must appoint a Scientific Integrity Officer , a career employee with technical expertise, within 90 days. Agencies are also required to establish administrative processes for dispute resolution and appeals, along with regular training programs on scientific integrity and ethics for all relevant personnel. The OSTP will play a central role in approving policies, collating information, and convening Scientific Integrity Officers annually to discuss best practices. Furthermore, the bill includes reporting requirements, mandating annual reports on misconduct complaints and incident reports if a Scientific Integrity Officer's decision is overruled. The Comptroller General will conduct a review of the policies' implementation within two years of enactment. Existing agency policies may be deemed compliant if they meet the new requirements and receive OSTP approval, reinforcing the goal of fostering an environment where scientific research and communication are protected from undue influence.
