NIH Public Access Policy

On July 1st 2025 the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy goes into effect, requiring researchers to share the final, peer-reviewed manuscripts resulting from NIH funding accepted for publication in a journal on or after July1st 2025 in PubMed Central (PMC) without any embargo (delayed access). 

The Library's HBLS team can help researchers and administrators navigate the systems and processes in place for complying with the NIH Public Access Policy. This can include:

• Help with uploading your manuscript in the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS), and identifying whether a publisher will do this for you,
• Delegation or assistance with adding your publications to MyBibliography,
• Troubleshooting non-compliant publications.
