NIH Public Access Policy Changes - Effective July 1, 2025
The 2024 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy will take effect on July 1, 2025 (accelerated from the original December 2025 date). This policy eliminates the previous 12-month embargo period and requires immediate public access to NIH-funded research.
Key Changes:
New DoD/CDMRP Requirements: Use of Common Forms and Certification Now Mandatory
Dear Colleagues,
Please be advised that the Department of Defense (DoD) Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) now require the use of the federal-wide Common Forms for both biosketches and current & pending (other) support in all applications. NIH-format Word templates are no longer acceptable for CDMRP submissions.
Temporary Restraining Order Barring the DOE
On Wednesday, April 16, a federal court in Massachusetts issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring the DOE from implementing the 15% rate cap on DOE awards and/or terminating any grants based on a grantee's refusal to accept an indirect cost rate less than its negotiated rate. The TRO applies to all DOE awards impacted by the proposed rate cap, including Columbia's DOE awards.
