Scientific Management and Stewardship

Scientific Management and Stewardship Reg - Public Trust in Sciences

The NIH-Wide Strategic Plan emphasizes that NIH has a responsibility to uphold public trust and confidence in its work. NIEHS will build upon its long history of community-engaged research , as well as meet emerging needs related to ensuring public trust, through the following approaches:

  • Engage with communities to enhance public understanding of NIEHS-supported research and research programs.
  • Ensure that our efforts to build data infrastructure for collecting and integrating environmental health data include capabilities to ensure research participant privacy and patient privacy.
  • Affirm the NIH-wide commitment to upholding the highest quality science through efforts to enhance transparency, research ethics, scientific rigor in experimental design and conduct, and reproducibility of scientific research findings.
