Roundup: White House Releases Scientific Integrity Progress Report

Scientific Integrity Progress Report and Policy Updates

In the third quarter of 2024, significant developments took place regarding scientific integrity policies in the United States. Following President Biden’s memorandum in January 2021, agencies were required to establish scientific integrity policies to prevent political interference in science. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released a progress report on the implementation of these policies on September 30, 2024. The report highlighted that while progress has been made, there is still room for improvement.

According to the report, 19 out of 28 agencies have finalized updated scientific integrity policies, and 25 have appointed officials to oversee policy implementation. However, only 15 agencies have established procedures for addressing policy violations, and one-third are in the process of developing evaluation plans. A separate analysis by Anita Desikan found that many agencies have not fully met the benchmarks outlined in the framework for scientific integrity policies.

Advocates have raised concerns about the lack of public engagement in the policy-making process and the need for stronger protections for employees who report violations. Moving forward, agencies are expected to continue revising their policies, with updates available on the Science.gov webpage.

Addressing Supreme Court Decisions and Ethical Concerns

The recent Supreme Court decisions, particularly the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Corner Post, Inc. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System cases, have raised concerns about the interpretation of laws and challenges to regulations. In response, legislators have introduced bills such as the Stop Corporate Capture Act and the Corner Post Reversal Act to mitigate the impact of these decisions.

Furthermore, ethical issues involving Supreme Court justices have come to light, with calls for investigations into potential conflicts of interest. President Biden has proposed 18-year term limits for justices and a binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court to address these concerns.

Project 2025 and the Future of Federal Agencies

Project 2025, a controversial blueprint proposed by the Heritage Foundation, has drawn criticism for its radical proposals to reshape federal agencies and policies. The plan includes eliminating programs related to climate science and allowing for the replacement of career agency staff with political appointees.

Opponents of Project 2025 argue that it poses significant risks to public health and environmental protections. In response, organizations like the Center for Progressive Reform have put forth alternative visions for the administrative state that prioritize public empowerment and safeguard against harm to public health and safety.

As discussions continue on the future of federal agencies and policies, it is essential to consider the implications of proposed changes on scientific integrity, regulatory oversight, and public well-being.
