Ensuring Alliance Publications Comply with NIH

• Always remember to acknowledge the Alliance by including our current grant award number (U54GM133807)in each publication, presentation, poster, press release, patent, or other documents.
• Please use a statement such as: “Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under award number U54GM133807. A special thank you to the [Core/s Name/s]. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official view of the National Institutes of Health.”

• IDeA funds CAN NOT be allocated to foreign countries and must be exclusively used within IDeA-designated territories.

• Author Affiliations: Each co-author included in the article must clearly indicate their institutional affiliation and country. If this information was not included in your publication, we will need to contact you to request this key information.
• Foreign Authors: It is permissible to include foreign authors in publications that acknowledge the Alliance grant award. However, if your publication acknowledged the Alliance award and includes foreign authors, we will need to provide additional information in our NIH Progress Report. Thus, we will contact you to explore which of the following statements applies:
  • • “The work described in this publication constitutes an intellectual collaboration only. No IDeA funds nor resources were exchanged, and the work conducted at the Foreign Site did not involve any Human Subjects nor Vertebrate Animal Research.”
    • “The work described in this publication constitutes an intellectual collaboration only. No IDeA funds nor human subjects’ information, recruited at the IDeA program, were exchanged with the Foreign Site.”
• Collaboration with Specific Foreign Countries: All publications that acknowledged the Alliance award and involve authors from Russia, North Korea, Cuba, and China must be reported to a higher NIH level.

Since its creation in 2000, PubMed Central (PMC) has served as a free digital archive of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The final, published versions of NIH-funded articles are supplied to PMC only through publishers who have formal PMC participation agreements. NIH-funded author manuscripts must be submitted through the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system. The submission process may be initiated by either an author or a publisher but must be completed by the author. Upon acceptance of a publication that acknowledged the Alliance grant award, please verify with the journal regarding their stance on the NIH Public Access Policy. All your publications must comply with NIH policies. If you need further assistance with this task, please contact Mariela Lugo Picó and review  Keeping Compliance with NIH Public Access Policy.
