Trump rescinds Biden-era policy declaring DEI an 'integral' part of scientific process
Fox News
The Trump administration rescinded a Biden-era "Scientific Integrity Policy," which sought to infuse DEI throughout the "entire scientific process."
In addition to the amended scientific integrity policy, the Biden administration also took other steps to infuse DEI into the scientific process throughout its term. This included compelling scientists seeking to work with the NIH to submit statements expressing their commitment to DEI, including when seeking certain grant funding for research projects.
"The Biden administration weaponized NIH’s scientific integrity policy to inject harmful DEI and gender ideology into research," said Health and Human Services Department spokesperson, Andrew Nixon. "Rescinding this [scientific integrity] policy will allow NIH to restore science to its golden standard and protect the integrity of science."
