Scientific Integrity

Scientific integrity at EPA is the adherence to professional practices, ethical behavior, and the principles of honesty and objectivity when conducting, managing, using the results of, and communicating about science and scientific activities. Inclusivity, transparency, and protection from inappropriate influence are hallmarks of scientific integrity. Scientific integrity is the responsibility of every EPA employee, political employee, contractor, grantee, volunteer and collaborator who conducts, utilizes, supervises, manages, communicates, or influences scientific activities. For the latest Scientific Integrity activities, visit What’s New in Scientific Integrity.
