Science Directives
This document, categorized under Presidential Actions, lists several nominations sent to the Senate for confirmation, primarily consisting of appointments for United States Attorneys for various districts and nominations for United States District Judges across several states.
ENSURING AMERICAN SPACE SUPERIORITY
This Presidential Action establishes comprehensive policy priorities to assert United States superiority in space, focusing on four key areas: leading exploration through a return to the Moon by 2028 and establishing a permanent lunar outpost by 2030; securing national and economic security interests against space threats; fostering a robust commercial space economy projected to attract $50 billion in new investment by 2028; and developing advanced capabilities, including deploying lunar nuclear power by 2030.
The order outlines specific implementation timelines, assigns coordination roles to various White House offices and agency heads, mandates significant reforms to NASA and Commerce acquisition processes, and supersedes prior related directives, including the revocation of Executive Order 14056.
INCREASING MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND CANNABIDIOL RESEARCH
This Presidential Action establishes that Americans deserve better access to medical research on marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) to address conditions like chronic pain, noting that decades of restrictive federal policy have limited necessary investigations.
The order directs the Attorney General to immediately complete the process of rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), reflecting the Department of Health and Human Services' recommendation that it has accepted medical use.
Furthermore, the action mandates collaboration with Congress to clarify the regulation of hemp-derived cannabinoid products, including setting THC limits, while tasking HHS and other agencies to develop research models using real-world evidence to improve patient guidance and product safeguards.
Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence
This Presidential Action establishes the policy that the United States must sustain global Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominance through a minimally burdensome national framework, overriding conflicting state regulations that threaten innovation.
The order mandates the creation of an AI Litigation Task Force within the Justice Department to challenge specific state AI laws deemed unlawful or unduly burdensome.
Furthermore, it directs the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to evaluate existing state laws—identifying those that compel alterations to truthful AI outputs—and establishes mechanisms to restrict federal funding for states maintaining conflicting regulations, while instructing staff to prepare a unified legislative recommendation for Congress.
Aligning United States Core Childhood Vaccine Recommendations with Best Practices from Peer, Developed Countries
This Presidential Memorandum directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to review the core childhood vaccine recommendations in the United States against the vaccination policies of peer, developed countries, noting the U.S. currently recommends more vaccinations than most international counterparts.
If the review determines that peer country practices are superior based on scientific evidence, the memorandum orders an update to the U.S. core childhood vaccine schedule accordingly, while ensuring continued access to all currently available vaccines.
Launching the Genesis Mission
This Presidential Action establishes the "Genesis Mission," a major national effort coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and largely implemented by the Secretary of Energy (the DOE), to accelerate scientific discovery using Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The mission focuses on creating the American Science and Security Platform, which will integrate federal scientific datasets and high-performance computing resources to train scientific foundation models, test hypotheses, and automate research workflows across critical national challenges such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology.
The action mandates coordination across executive agencies, outlines specific timelines for establishing the platform's infrastructure and identifying priority challenges, and encourages strong public-private partnerships under rigorous security and data-sharing protocols.
