access policy made permanent<BR><BR>2009 Consolidated Appropriations Act ensures
NIH public access policy will<BR>persist<BR><BR>Washington, D.C. – March 12,
2009 – President Obama yesterday signed into<BR>law the 2009 Consolidated
Appropriations Act, which includes a provision<BR>making the National
Institutes’ of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy<BR>permanent. The
NIH Revised Policy on Enhancing Public Access requires<BR>eligible NIH-funded
researchers to deposit electronic copies of their<BR>peer-reviewed manuscripts
into the National Library of Medicine’s online<BR>archive, PubMed Central (PMC).
Full texts of the articles are made publicly<BR>available and searchable online
in PMC no later than 12 months after<BR>publication in a journal.<BR><BR>The NIH
policy was previously implemented with a provision that was subject<BR>to annual
renewal. Since the implementation of the revised policy the<BR>percentage of
eligible manuscripts deposited into PMC has increased<BR>significantly, with
over 3,000 new manuscripts being deposited each month.<BR>The PubMed Central
database is a part of a valuable set of public database<BR>resources at the NIH,
which are accessed by more than 2 million users each<BR>day.<BR><BR>The new
provision reads in full:<BR><BR>The Director of the National Institutes of
Health shall require in the<BR>current fiscal year and thereafter that all
investigators funded by the NIH<BR>submit or have submitted for them to the
National Library of Medicine's<BR>PubMed Central an electronic version of their
final, peer-reviewed<BR>manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to be made
publicly available no<BR>later than 12 months after the official date
of<BR>publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access
policy<BR>in a manner consistent with copyright law.<BR><BR> “This is
a significant moment for all of us in the health community, and<BR>for efforts
in health reform. With free access to health research,<BR>individuals
are empowered with the knowledge necessary to understand the<BR>health threats
they and their families face,” said Sharon Terry, President<BR>and CEO of
Genetic <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:City>. “Congress recognizes the
incredible power of<BR>technology and innovation in enabling new solutions for
the proactive<BR>management of health, consumer-driven healthcare, and novel
partnerships and<BR>collaborations in research. Congratulations to us
all.”<BR><BR>The NIH Public Access Policy addresses the public’s growing need
for<BR>high-quality health information and promotes accelerated
scientific<BR>advancement in the biomedical sciences.<BR><BR>"Public access to
publicly funded research contributes directly to the<BR>mission of higher
education,” said David Shulenburger, Vice President for<BR>Academic Affairs at
NASULGC (the National Association of State Universities<BR>and Land-Grant
Colleges). “Improved access will enable universities to<BR>maximize their own
investment in research, and widen the potential for<BR>discovery as the results
are more readily available for others to build<BR>upon.”<BR><BR>Heather Joseph,
spokesperson for the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:City> for Taxpayer Access noted,<BR>“Thanks
to the work of a wide coalition of patients, libraries,
researchers,<BR>publishers, students, and taxpayers, the results of NIH-funded
research can<BR>be accessed – and used - in ways never before
possible. The successful<BR>implementation of this policy will unlock the
potential of this research to<BR>benefit the public as a whole. ”<BR><BR>For
more information, and a timeline detailing the evolution of the NIH<BR>Public
Access Policy beginning May 2004, visit the ATA Web site at<BR><A
href="http://www.taxpayeraccess.org">http://www.taxpayeraccess.org</A>.<BR><BR><BR><BR>###<BR><BR><BR><BR>The
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:City> for
Taxpayer Access is a coalition of patient, academic,<BR>research, and publishing
organizations that supports open public access to<BR>the results of federally
funded research. The <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:City> was formed in 2004 to<BR>urge that
peer-reviewed articles stemming from taxpayer-funded research<BR>become fully
accessible and available online at no extra cost to the<BR>American public.
