While who the unit serves has changed over the last decade, our mission has remained the same: we help researchers and research staff navigate this legal requirement through consultation, training, and submitting manuscripts to funders on behalf of investigators... In April 2008, the National Institutes of Health introduced a public access to publications requirement for all of its research grants. This condition, which has since been replicated by almost every other federal agency, impacts the thousands of principal investigators on the UW-Madison campus who receive over $577 million in federal funding annually... FEDERAL PUBLIC ACCESS COMPLIANCE MADE EASY Federal agencies require the published results of funded research to be made publicly accessible. Final, peer-reviewed manuscripts deposited through this site will be submitted to funders' repositories on behalf of authors and principal investigators to fulfill public access requirements.
