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

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
