Restoring Gold Standard Science

President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14303, titled "Restoring Gold Standard Science," on May 23, 2025. This order aims to enhance the integrity and reliability of federally funded scientific research by ensuring it is transparent, rigorous, and free from bias. It mandates that federal agencies adhere to guidelines that promote reproducibility, transparency, and objective communication of scientific data. The order also requires agencies to update their scientific integrity policies and ensure that scientific information used in decision-making is credible and accurately reflects uncertainties. This initiative is intended to rebuild public trust in the scientific processes and decisions made by the federal government.
