Open access policy | Wellcome Trust

"The Charity Open Access Fund (COAF) is a partnership between Arthritis Research UK, Breast Cancer Campaign, the British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research UK, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and the Wellcome Trust to enable free and unrestricted access to the published outputs of the research we support. COAF will provide single combined block grants to 36 UK research institutions to meet open access article processing charges for peer-reviewed research publications resulting from research funded by one or more of the six partner charities. COAF has been established for an initial pilot phase of two years, beginning 1 October 2014. The Wellcome Trust is administering the Fund on behalf of the partners for this pilot phase."
