Public Access Policy Compliance

Purpose
Compliance with National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy requirements.

Applicability
All investigators with NIH funding including subrecipient investigators and collaborators are responsible for ensuring that evidence of compliance is included in all NIH applications, proposals and report.

The NIH Public Access Policy applies to all peer-reviewed journal articles published on or after April 7, 2008 that arise from direct funding from an NIH grant or cooperative agreement. Principal Investigators (PIs) are responsible for making sure that all papers that are based on research from their NIH grants (whether they are an author of the paper, or not) are made available through PubMed Central. Compliance is managed in "My NCBI", a system managed by the National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
