Adherence to scientific integrity and ensuring that the Agency shares accurate, reliable, and comprehensive information with the public is foundational to FNS. As such, this document outlines the clearance process FNS uses to release its scientific products, such as studies, analyses, evaluations, and journal articles.
As required under the Office of Management and Budget's "Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review," FNS reviews its study and evaluation plans to determine whether any projects currently planned or underway meet the Bulletin's standards for "highly influential scientific assessments" or "influential scientific information."
FNS conducts a variety of studies, evaluations, and related activities that respond to the needs of policy makers and managers and help ensure that nutrition assistance programs achieve their goals effectively.
