Federal agencies that do or fund research would have to follow strict rules against suppressing or altering scientific findings for political reasons. Each agency must appoint an integrity officer, train staff, and publicly report how complaints are handled every year.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Scientific Integrity Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Latest action on H.R. 1106: Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Who this affects: This bill touches anyone connected to federally funded science — from the agencies themselves to the individual researchers, contractors, and grantees who do the work. It also affects the general public, since many government decisions about health, safety, and the environment depend on scientific findings that this bill aims to protect from interference.
Why this matters: Government decisions on public health, environmental protection, and consumer safety rely heavily on scientific research. When political pressure can suppress, alter, or delay scientific findings, the quality of those decisions suffers. This bill creates enforceable, government-wide guardrails so that the science behind policy is driven by evidence, not politics — and so that problems are reported publicly rather than buried internally.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
