21. Existing NIH Policy RemindersPublic Access Policy • Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded projects. Policy requires that final peer-reviewed papers can be accessible to the public on PubMed Central (PMC). • PMCID is a unique reference number or identifier that is assigned to every article that is accepted in PMC. • PMCID must be referenced on annual and final progress reports.

22. Existing NIH Policy RemindersPublic Access Policy – PMCID vs. PMID • PMID is a unique reference number for PubMed citations. • PubMed is a database of citations and abstracts of articles from thousands of journals vs. PMC that offers free access to full-text journal articles. • PMID : PMCID Converter website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid • It is the PMCID that needs to be listed

23. Existing NIH Policy RemindersPublic Access Policy - PubMed Abstract

24. Existing NIH Policy RemindersAudit Requirements • Required for institutions that expended a total of $500,000 or more under one or more HHS awards (as a direct grantee and/or under a consortium) . • Foreign institutions can choose one of two types of audits: • Financial-related audit in accordance with the Government Auditing Standards commonly known as the Yellow Book, or • an audit that meets the requirements of OMB Circular A-133

25. Existing NIH Policy RemindersInstitutional vs. NIH Policy • Remember. Institutional policy can be more restrictive than NIH policy. If this is the case, then institutional policy trumps NIH policy. • Institutional policies must be consistently applied regardless of the source of funding. • If your institutional policy allows something that is not allowable under NIH policy, then you can not charge costs associated with those activities to the grant.
