The resolution, statement, and accompanying model publishing agreement addendum are available on the Faculty Senate agenda.

Faculty who are working on NIH-funded projects need to pay special attention to publishing agreements so that they can comply with NIH’s new Public Access Policy, which requires deposit of articles in PubMed Central within one year of publication.
