It requires scientists to submit journal articles that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central. The Policy requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health.

As of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number when citing an article that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator, or arose from the investigator’s NIH award. This policy includes applications submitted to the NIH for the May 25, 2008 due date and subsequent due dates.

*Effective in 2007--- The NIH no longer will provide comparative ranking tables on its medical research funding. Instead, NIH has developed a Web based tool that allows institutions to determine the dollars awarded to any one organization or department. The tool will also allow institutions to download aggregate data, on a per fiscal year basis, so that you can conduct your own analysis. The Research Management Group prepared the report for the FY07 for the Dean's Office.
