Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research Memo
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) recently updated U.S. policy guidance in a memo: Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research, that recommends federal agencies update and publish their public access policies to make publications and their supporting data resulting from federally funded research publicly accessible without an embargo on their free and public release. All federal agencies will be required to implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo, no later than December 31, 2025.
NIH intends to work with interagency partners and stakeholders to revise its current Public Access Policy to enable researchers, clinicians, students, and the public to access NIH research results immediately upon publication.
