House panels charge U.S. National Academies with producing partisan studies.

The article discusses recent criticisms from Republican-led congressional committees regarding the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) and its studies, particularly one related to the health impacts of greenhouse gas emissions. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform expressed concerns about the impartiality of NASEM's research, suggesting potential partisan bias and conflicts of interest. Additionally, the House Committee on Appropriations included a warning in a spending bill for federal agencies to exercise caution when engaging with NASEM, citing a lack of objective research methods. Despite these criticisms, some members of Congress continue to support NASEM's role in providing scientific advice, highlighting a divide in perspectives on the organization's credibility.
