FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

In his
March 9, 2009 memorandum on
Scientific Integrity, the President states
that ‘‘science and the scientific process
must inform and guide decisions of my
Administration on a wide range of
issues’’ and assigns the Director of the
Office of Science and Technology Policy
(the Director) responsibility for ensuring
scientific integrity throughout the
executive branch. To this end, the
memorandum requires the Director to
submit within 120 days a set of
recommendations for Presidential action
to ensure scientific integrity. If possible,
for each comment you submit, please
note to which of the six principles
below your comment relates. This will
assist in properly categorizing the
public comments and responding to the
President’s memorandum on Scientific
Integrity. The six principles from the
memorandum are as follows:
(a) The selection and retention of
candidates for science and technology
positions in the executive branch
should be based on the candidate’s
knowledge, credentials, experience, and
integrity;
(b) Each agency should have
appropriate rules and procedures to
ensure the integrity of the scientific
process within the agency;
(c) When scientific or technological
information is considered in policy
decisions, the information should be
subject to well-established scientific
processes, including peer review where
appropriate, and each agency should
appropriately and accurately reflect that
information in complying with and
applying relevant statutory standards.
(d) Except for information that is
properly restricted from disclosure
under procedures established in
accordance with statute, regulation,
Executive Order, or Presidential
Memorandum, each agency should
make available to the public the
scientific or technological findings or
conclusions considered or relied on in
policy decisions;
(e) Each agency should have in place
procedures to identify and address
instances in which the scientific process
or the integrity of scientific and
technological information may be
compromised; and
(f) Each agency should adopt such
additional procedures, including any
appropriate whistleblower protections,
as are necessary to ensure the integrity

of scientific and technological
information and processes on which the

with each comment;
