Description:

The NIH has moved up the timeline for the New NIH Public Access Policy. Starting July 1, 2025, all peer-reviewed manuscripts resulting from NIH funding must be made immediately available in PubMed Central — including early online versions like epub ahead of print. Not only does compliance promote transparency and access, but it is also a legal requirement and mandatory for funding. Non-compliance can jeopardize current and future NIH awards, including renewals.

This session will walk you through: 

·   What’s changing under the new policy

·   What to expect after award receipt

·   The writing and publishing process, including information on open access publishing models and working with journals and publishers

·   Depositing and reporting

We’ll also cover strategies for refining language for clarity and compliance for federal grant materials, including the Biosketch, Other Support, RPPR, and more.

For additional support sign up for the library’s weekly virtual office hours, visit Galter’s NIH Public Access Policy Guide, or contact Pamela Shaw, Public Access Compliance Reporter, for one-on-one help.
