Restoring Gold Standard Science

SignedDonald Trump · May 23, 2025

Directs federal agencies to adopt reproducible, transparent science standards and disclose research data used in major policy decisions.

Does not create new legal authority or appropriations. Applies only to how agencies conduct and use science in decision-making, not to the substance of policy itself.

- Agencies must update scientific integrity policies to align with new guidance within 60 days.
- Agencies must report to Office of Science and Technology Policy on implementation actions within 60 days.
Improving the Use, Interpretation, and Communication of Scientific Data
- Agencies must make public the data, analyses, and conclusions used in influential scientific decisions, including source code for models (except enforcement risk models).
- Agencies must transparently acknowledge and document uncertainty in scientific information.
- Employees must use realistic, not worst-case, assumptions unless required by law.
Interim Scientific Integrity Policies
- Agencies must revoke organizational changes and revisions made under prior administration's scientific integrity memorandum.
- Agencies must review actions, regulations, and guidance issued January 2021–January 2025 and align them with this order.
Enforcement and Oversight

Waivers
