New Podcasts on NIH Public Access Policy

The NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) published three new podcasts to help grantees understand the NIH Public Access Policy and to introduce investigators and institutions to new tools NIH has made available for ensuring compiance with the policy. In the first podcast, Understanding the NIH Public Access Policy, OER’s Dr. Neil Thakur, program manager for the public access policy, gives an overview of the policy and describes NIH’s efforts to enhance policy compliance. In the second podcast in the series, Using MyNCBI to Manage NIH Public Access Policy Compliance, Dr. Bart Trawick of the National Library of Medicine discusses how MyNCBI can be used by authors to collect citations from PubMed and determine which publications fall under NIH’s public access policy. 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. You can find all of these podcasts and their transcripts on the All About Grants podcast webpage.
