EPA 2021 Scientific Integrity Survey

2021 Survey Overview

To continually assess the implementation of the Scientific Integrity Policy, EPA periodically launches a survey to identify successes, challenges, and to propose an action plan to address opportunities for improvement to enhance the culture of scientific integrity. The Scientific Integrity Program distributed the 2021 Scientific Integrity Survey (2021 Survey) on May 19, 2021, to all EPA federal employees. The 2021 Survey was narrowed to a two-year recall period (2019 – 2020) with questions and response options to gauge employees’ awareness and understanding of the Policy and hear about their experiences regarding the culture of scientific integrity at the Agency.
