Summary

The Scientific Integrity Act amends the America COMPETES Act, requiring every federal agency that funds, conducts, or oversees research to create a written integrity policy within 90 days. The policy must forbid data suppression, political interference, and scientific misconduct, while guaranteeing scientists the right to share findings and participate in professional activities. The goal is to keep public‑funded science trustworthy and free from political or ideological pressure.
