In line with its mission of providing objective and impartial information and analysis on government policy, science policy, and scientific issues, Federal Focus follows an internal policy of attempting to insulate principal staff and Science Panel members from specific information concerning funding sources other than government grants. It is also the foundation's policy not to accept grants or contributions under conditions that would allow the grantor/contributor to control to any extent the results of the work conducted by Federal Focus or withhold findings or views from publication.
