On 28 May 2026, AGU sent letters to Representative Tonko and Senator Schatz endorsing the Scientific Integrity Act. 

Now more than ever, it is critical to bolster public trust in science by ensuring that federal science is impartial, evidence-based, and conducted in the public interest. We applaud this bill’s effort to strengthen, expand, and standardize existing federal agency scientific integrity policies and codify the rights of researchers to conduct and communicate their work free from political interference. Such measures will enhance the accountability and excellence of federal research and increase
public confidence.
