National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov)
Purpose
This Notice describes NIH Public Access Policy compliance monitoring efforts for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. It also provides important reminders concerning grantee demonstration of compliance and the location of citations for papers in applications, proposals and progress reports. Grantees are responsible for compliance with the Policy, including ensuring that any publishing or copyright agreements permit submission to PubMed Central in accord with the Policy.
NIH Compliance Monitoring
In FY2009, Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) will be notified via an email from the Program Official if citations of papers included in applications, proposals or progress reports appear to fall under the Policy but lack a demonstration of compliance as described below. The citations of concern will be explicitly listed. The Institutional Business Official will be copied on the email.
The PD/PI will be asked to respond via email to both the Program Official and the Institutional Business Official with confirmation that papers listed in the email are in compliance. Confirmation should include the citation for the paper plus the appropriate identifier as described below under Demonstrating Compliance. If the paper is not covered by the Policy, the PD/PI should provide an appropriate explanation (e.g., manuscript was accepted for publication prior to April 7, 2008; the paper was not peer-reviewed). Grantees are reminded that compliance with the Policy is a Term and Condition of the award.
Reminder: Demonstrating Compliance
Grantees are reminded to demonstrate compliance with the Public Access Policy when submitting an application, proposal, or progress report to the NIH. Grantees should include the PubMed Central (PMC) reference number (e.g., PMC234567) for each paper that was authored or co-authored by the applicant or arose from their NIH award, and that falls under the Policy.
If the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) is not available because the paper has not been published yet, authors should use the NIH Manuscript Submission reference number (e.g., NIHMS97531). If the PMCID is not available because the Journal submits articles directly to PMC on behalf of their authors, applicants should indicate "PMC Journal - In Process." Grantees may only indicate PMC Journal-In process if the journal is on this list: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm, or the grantee or author has made arrangements with a publisher on this list http://publicaccess.nih.gov/select_deposit_publishers.htm to post a paper directly to PMC.
The PMCID is posted in PubMed as soon as an article has been successfully processed by PMC, which usually occurs around the time of publication. PMCIDs are listed in the lower right corner of the AbstractPlus view of PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/). If the paper is not yet publicly available on PMC, PubMed will also list the date the paper will become available. NIH provides other methods of obtaining PMCIDs (e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid), as do several bibliography management software packages.
NIH expects citations in an application, proposal or report to include the most up-to-date information concerning the status of compliance with the Public Access Policy. The NIH Manuscript Submission reference number or "PMC Journal - In Process" should not be used once the PMCID is available. However, previously submitted applications, proposals and reports need not be updated when the PMCID becomes available.
Reminder: Location of Literature Citations
Annotations demonstrating compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy should be placed at the end of each applicable publication citation in every application, proposal or report. The appropriate locations for literature citations vary depending on the application type. Applicants/grantees are strongly encouraged to follow existing application instructions which are summarized in the tables below:

When an eRA Commons eSNAP is initiated, a list of publications is automatically pulled into the Upload Science screen, for potential inclusion in the progress report, from two sources. First, eRA Commons pulls citations from the NIH Manuscript Submission system (including the appropriate PMCIDs and NIHMSIDs) that can be attributed to any PD/PI identified on the Notice of Award. Second, the list contains all manual entries from the Publications section of all PDs/PIs Personal Profiles. These manual entries are displayed with the Citation Source of PD/PI Entered both within the eSNAP and within the Publications section of the user’s Personal Profile. Users must carefully review the publication list and check the checkbox of all citations to be associated with the report. The eSNAP user also has the option to manually add additional citations from within eSNAP. When manually entering citations, users should include the appropriate identifier as described above under Demonstrating Compliance. It is important to verify that the NIH Manuscript Submission System Status shows AVAILABLE on the Upload Science page when preparing and submitting the eSNAP report to ensure that all appropriate citation information is included in the report.
