New NIH publicity requirements: As of April 2012, all grantee institutions are required to acknowledge federal funding in every journal article, news release, news story, or other story for public dissemination that features NIH-supported research. Including this information will help the NIH populate the Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool Expenditures and Results (RePORTER) tool found at report.nih.gov with compelling descriptions of the research they support, and to communicate the value of taxpayer-funded research to the media, advocates and policymakers.

If you have a pending NIH-funded study about to be published, please notify the relevant NIH communication office of the release or story before publication.

For projects using Spectrum/CTSA resources, send such notifications to the Spectrum Communications Manager, krisn@stanford.edu, who will properly coordinate it with the NIH-CTSA Office of Communications (info@ncats.nih.gov).

Submitting publications to PubMed Central: If your manuscript was created with grant support, the NIH requires you to submit it to PubMed Central for free access. Staring July 1, 2013, the NIH will delay processing award notices for noncompeting renewals if publications arising from the award are not in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy. Failure to comply may lead to delays in funding your next noncompeting renewal.

All publications resulting from the use of Spectrum resources must comply with the NIH Public Access Policy and NIH Funding Acknowledgment requirements.
