The NIH announced on July 8 that they would seek to establish new policies for allowable publication costs and later released a Request for Information (NOT-OD-25-138) that outlines five proposed options for limiting, or disallowing, these costs. The proposed effective date is January 1, 2026.
If you would like to submit a response on any aspect of this proposal, fill out this comment form from the NIH Office of Science Policy by September 15, 2025.
For information on how to comply with the new NIH Public Access Policy, see this guide from HSLS that will be continually updated.
