Summary:

"Notice ... Amendments were made to the CIHR Open Access Policy, formerly known as the Policy on Access to Research Outputs. As of January 1, 2013, CIHR-funded researchers will be required to make their peer-reviewed publications accessible at no cost within 12 months of publication – at the latest. While the revised Policy provides researchers with clear guidance on CIHR's minimum expectation, in the spirit of public benefits of research, CIHR continues to encourage researchers to make their publications accessible for free as soon as possible after publication. Compliance with the Open Access Policy will continue to be monitored through end of grant reporting. Policy Summary As of January 1, 2013, researchers awarded funding from CIHR are required to adhere with the following responsibilities: [1] ensure that all research papers generated from CIHR funded projects are freely accessible through the Publisher's website or an online repository within 12 months of publication; [2] deposit bioinformatics, atomic, and molecular coordinate data into the appropriate public database (e.g. gene sequences deposited in GenBank) [3] immediately upon publication of research results; retain original data sets for a minimum of five years (or longer if other policies apply); and [4] acknowledge CIHR support by quoting the funding reference number in journal publications.
