Today, NIH is releasing the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the National Institutes of Health. The final policy incorporates and is responsive to the principles and directives of the Presidential Memorandum on Restoring Trust in Government Through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking, Protecting the Integrity of Government Science, and A Framework for Federal Scientific Integrity Policy and Practice. 

In developing this policy, NIH also considered all the comments received during the Draft Policy public comment period. The final policy articulates the procedures and processes in place at NIH that help maintain rigorous scientific integrity practices. Additionally, the final policy describes several new functions to further enhance scientific integrity at NIH and throughout the biomedical research enterprise.

The Policy will take effect on December 30, 2024.
