<p class=MsoNormal>To comply with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008
(Pub. L. No. 110-161), the NIH's previously voluntary Public Access Policy is
now a mandated requirement and applies to all peer-reviewed articles that
arise, in whole or in part, from direct costs funded by the NIH, or from the
NIH staff, that are accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008.
In addition, beginning May 25, 2008, anyone submitting an application,
proposal, or progress report to the NIH must include the PubMed Central or NIH
Manuscript Submission reference number when citing applicable articles that
arise from their NIH-funded research. This policy includes applications
submitted to the NIH for the May 25, 2008, due date and subsequent due dates.<br>
<br>
Other specifics of the NIH policy are enumerated in <a
href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-08-033.html">NOT-OD-08-033</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please share this message broadly with NIH-funded researchers
within your department/unit.<o:p></o:p></p>
