The NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) published three new podcasts to help grantees understand the NIH Public Access Policy, as well as help introduce investigators and institutions to new tools NIH has made available for ensuring compliance with that policy. In the first podcast, “Understanding the NIH Public Access Policy,” Dr. Neil Thakur, OER’s Program Manager for the public access policy, gives an overview of the policy and describes NIH’s efforts to enhance policy compliance.
In the final podcast, Using the Public Access Compliance Monitor Tool, Peter Cooper of the National Library of Medicine describes a tool for research administrators that allows them to monitor and report on NIH Public Access Policy compliance across their research institution.
