Today, NIH is announcing that the NIH Public Access Policy will now be effective July 1, 2025.  This change in effective date will allow researchers and members of the public to have speedier access to NIH-supported findings.  All other aspects of the 2024 Public Access Policy remain the same.

NIH Director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya issued a statement earlier today announcing the change and the benefits it will provide.  

Additional context can also be found in the latest Under the Poliscope blog authored by Dr. Lyric Jorgenson which discusses how this change is another step in NIH’s efforts to maximize transparency.
