Nominees should commit to a culture of openness, Grifo said, as well as value science as a "key ingredient in policy decisions." Concerning regulatory matters, nominees should pledge to explain how they arrived at their decisions and provide information on how they plan to "support and value" the expertise and input of staff scientists and scientific advisory committees, Grifo said.

Congress, she said, should make sure nominees know they are expected to create "conditions conducive to a thriving scientific enterprise" and "stand up to the White House if pressured to compromise scientific integrity."
