SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scientific integrity plays a vital role in
the mission of HHS. Ensuring integrity in science throughout the
Department allows HHS to foster and produce high-quality science,
communicate effectively with the public, and base critical policy
decisions on trustworthy and rigorous scientific findings. HHS has
adopted a Department-wide scientific integrity policy to further
strengthen scientific integrity and evidence-based policymaking
throughout the Department.
The Scientific Integrity Policy of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (Policy) was approved on September 16, 2024. The
finalized Policy was announced to the HHS community and posted on the
HHS scientific integrity website, at <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/programs/research/scientificintegrity/index.html">https://www.hhs.gov/programs/research/scientificintegrity/index.html</a>, on September 30, 2024.
The document that published on Monday November 25, 2024, at 89 FR
92830 is being withdrawn. The Policy itself remains in effect and the
public may continue to access the policy on the HHS website, at <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/hhs-scientific-integrity-policy.pdf">https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/hhs-scientific-integrity-policy.pdf</a>.
HHS would like to clarify that the Policy does not modify,
implement, or change the Rules referenced in the CFR citations section,
i.e., 42 CFR part 93 and 45 CFR parts 46 and 73; and is not intended to
be guidance about implementing those Rules. HHS also notes that the
Policy is an internal HHS policy and only applies to HHS employees and
other covered individuals as indicated in the Policy.
The effective date of the Policy remains October 16, 2024.
Dated: November 25, 2024.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Science and Data
