Scientific Research Accessibility and Transparency Act of 2024

The Scientific Research Accessibility and Transparency Act of 2024 requires researchers receiving National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding to publicly share their study results - either as a report or raw data - on the NIH website within one year of completing research. This applies to all NIH-funded projects, including those with significant government support like the $9.7 million study on puberty blockers referenced in the bill. Researchers who fail to comply face a five-year ban on future NIH funding. The bill ensures taxpayer-funded research data is accessible to the public, regardless of researchers' personal political views, to promote transparency.
