The Biden administration's push for 'Indigenous Knowledge' in federal research aims to diversify evidence sources, sparking controversy over scientific integrity.

• The Biden administration plans to incorporate 'Indigenous Knowledge' and other non-traditional forms of evidence in federal research, including efforts by the FDA, CDC, and NIH.
• The move is part of a broader initiative to promote equity, justice, and trust in science, emphasizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
• Critics argue that 'Indigenous Knowledge' lacks scientific basis and could undermine the integrity of federal research.
• The proposed changes to scientific integrity guidelines by the Department of Health and Human Services are set to be implemented this year.
