Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Director John Holdren marked the passage of his latest deadline for scientific integrity policies with a blog post. In that post he noted that 20 federal entities have produced final or draft policies that were submitted to his office.
Of those twenty entities, five have finalized policies:
- Department of the Interior
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
- National Science Foundation (NSF)
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- Intelligence Community
I have posted about draft and/or final policies for all of the above, save the intelligence community. Should I find a publicly available version of that policy, I will post an analysis here. I do need to review the final NSF policy, and will post on that soon.
The OSTP blog post notes that 13 other entities have submitted near-final policies, and you can expect to see at least some of them sent out for public review soon:
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Commerce
- Department of Defense
- Department of Education
- Department of Energy
- Department of Health and Human Services
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of State
- Department of Justice
- Department of Labor
- Department of Transportation
- Veterans Administration
- US Agency for International Development
- National Institute of Standards and Technology
Additionally the Environmental Protection Agency will submit a revised draft policy to OSTP in the next several days.
For those counting, that makes nineteen. Presumably the twentieth is the Office of Science and Technology Policy itself, but I don’t know for sure.
You can now see a few of these policies via the OSTP resource library. Why this was just a recent addition escapes me.
