Librarians support researchers with literature reviews, data management plans, and depositing publications to PubMed Central.

1. How UT Librarians
Can Help You
Secure (and Keep)
NIH Funding
July 27, 2016

2. Securing Funding
• First, writing the grant
• Then, reporting on
progress and ongoing
compliance
• Finally, publishing in
compliance with NIH’s
public access policy

3. Where are you in the process?
• Exploratory
I’m exploring research options and not sure if NIH
funding is right for me.
• Project Development
I have an idea in mind but haven’t submitted a proposal
yet.
• Reporting on Progress
I have NIH funding and need help with public access
compliance.

4. Interested in NIH grant opportunities,
but need a research idea?

• How will you share it?
• Protection of privacy, confidentiality…
• Archiving and preservation
Watch the schedule for this Fall’s class.

16. SUPPORT FOR PUBLICATION COMPLIANCE

17. Public Access Policy: Definitions
• Public Access
•Embargo
• NLM’s PubMed
• NLM’s PubMed Central (PMC)
• PMCID
•MyNCBI
•NIHMS
•Final peer-reviewed manuscripts

18. What does compliance look like?
• Grants, and progress reports, include
PMCID citations when appropriate
• Any researcher with NIH funding--not just
the PI--knows their responsibilities. No
researcher signs anything from a publisher
that prevents compliance.
• Know your deposit method to PMC, or
your journal’s method for deposit to PMC

Submission Overview

21. PMCID Citations
• Available in PMC
• Submitted but not yet ready in PMC
https://publicaccess.nih.gov/include-pmcid-citations.htm#Examples

22. Be Aware
• PI’s responsibilities
• Publisher agreements are legal contracts
• You have deposit options and deposit
requirements

23. Options: Article Deposit
https://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process.htm

24. Which journals follow which method?
• Method A Wizard: Look up by journal name
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm
• Select Deposit Publishers (Method B)
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/select_deposit_publishers.htm
• Method D Publishers
https://publicaccess.nih.gov/Method%20D%20Publishers

25. Regardless of Submission Method
…authors should notify the publisher that the
research falls under the NIH public access policy.
…authors should, upon acceptance, begin
tracking the paper. You are responsible for
ensuring deposit to NIHMS immediately after
acceptance. (Recommend MyBib in MyNCBI to track it)
…authors should ensure a PMCID is obtained
within 90 days of date of publication.

in an ORCiD profile, where ORCiD is the free Open Researcher and Contributor ID system.

29. Why public/open access?
• Transparency and assessment
• Prestige and impact
• Taxpayers’ access
• Global reach and leadership
• Is it just the NIH?

30. Publishing Open Access
•In terms of access to publications,
TRACE:UT :: PubMed Central:NIH
• NIH allows grant $ to be applied toward
OA publication fees
• For other publications, consider the Open
Publishing Support Fund, or TRACE
•Not all OA publishers are the same (DOAJ)
