Effective today, the NIH Public Access Policy is in effect and manuscripts accepted for publication in a journal on or after July 1, 2025, must be submitted to PubMed Central for public availability without embargo upon the official date of publication.

To assist with compliance, NIH has developed a new website dedicated to the Public Access Policy which includes an overview of the policy, supplemental guidance, tips for submitting to PubMed Central, contact information, and FAQs. The site can be found at: https://grants.nih.gov/policy-and-compliance/policy-topics/public-access.

Questions can be sent to SciencePolicy@od.nih.gov.
