Important Information And Revision Notes

The third MIP competition, in 2025, will accept proposals on alloys, amorphous, and composite materials. Proposals mainly on biomaterials and polymer research will not be considered in the third MIP competition because the second MIP competition in 2019 included an emphasis on these topics.

Any proposal submitted in response to this solicitation should be submitted in accordance with the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect at the time the proposal is submitted. The NSF PAPPG is regularly revised and it is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements specified in this solicitation and the applicable version

Background

Increasing access to publications resulting from National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding offers many benefits to the scientific community and the public who funded the underlying research. When patients, families, and healthcare providers can access published findings resulting from NIH funding, they are able to better understand and address the most critical health concerns facing their communities. It also allows researchers, students, and members of the public in all communities to have equitable access to such content. This access can accelerate future research, lead to collaboration, and allow interested readers and patients to follow the latest advances more closely. Importantly, these goals reflect NIH’s commitment to the responsible stewardship of the Nation’s investment in biomedical research by improving transparency and accessibility of taxpayer-funded research, an essential component of fostering trust in research. NIH is issuing this updated Public Access Policy to further advance these

Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy: Publication Costs

Published: 17 December 2024

Purpose

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reiterates that compliance with the Public Access Policy is free. However, NIH recognizes that some peer-reviewed publishing routes may result in publication costs, including, but not limited to, article processing charges (APCs). Publication costs are allowable when they comport with the existing NIH cost principles (Grants Policy Statement (GPS) 7.2 and GPS 7.9.1 (Publication and Printing Costs)). Cost principles clarify when costs should be allocated as direct versus indirect costs, and they clarify charges and fees that are allowable under the outlined conditions. 

This Guidance clarifies publication costs that are not allowable based on existing cost principles. It also outlines Points to Consider for Authors and Institutions in Assessing Reasonable Costs. This Guidance is intended to help funded authors and institutions understand what costs are allowable and reasonable under the NIH Public Access Policy. The NIH GPS also permits allowable
