Scientific Integrity: Policy, Procedures and Good Practices

Scientific Integrity Policy

CHECK BACK! USAID plans to release its new Policy on Fostering a Culture of Scientific Integrity in 2024. It will be posted here. 

This policy will establish the expectations, principles, and requirements to ensure the integrity of all aspects of scientific activities, including:  proposing, reviewing, managing, funding, conducting, and collaborating on scientific activities; communicating about science and scientific activities; strengthening scientific capacity in partner countries; and using the results of science in programming and decision-making. While USAID recognizes a distinction between scientific processes and policy decisions informed by scientific results, adherence to the principles of scientific integrity applies to both. 

Procedures & Good Practices

CHECK BACK! As USAID launches and begins to implement its new Policy on Fostering a Culture of Scientific Integrity, procedural guidance and help documents will be created and posted here.
