The NIH Library currently provides limited funding assistance in an effort to support authors affiliated with the National Institutes of Health to publish in an open access format.
The NIH Library negotiates agreements with several scholarly journal publishers and offers article processing charge (APC) support to authors employed by NIH. Please be advised that funding applicants must be the primary corresponding author and the article must utilize both an NIH affiliation and an NIH email address. Library-based APC coverage is currently in a pilot phase based on evolving publisher licenses and therefore a submission request does not guarantee funding. Funding pools may be depleted at any time.
