The NIH Public Access Policy requires any NIH grant-funded peer-reviewed article that has been accepted for publication after April 7, 2008 be deposited into PubMed Central. If your NIH grant-funded work is found to not be in compliance with this policy, NIH will delay processing of your non-competing continuation grant award.
