Organizations in Strong Support of NIH Public Access Policy

SLA and others sent letters to all members of the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property and the Committee on Judiciary expressing long-standing and strong support for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy and opposing any change to the current Policy that would undermine its proven effectiveness.

The Subcommittee will be conducting a hearing on the NIH Public Access Policy, a hearing that SLA and others strongly hope will provide an opportunity to better understand the importance and strategic value of the Policy as it advances science, improves access by the public to federally funded research, provides for effective archiving strategies for these resources, and ensures accountability of our federal investment. 

Read letter.
