NIH publishing expense cap comments open through 15 September

As noted in last month’s newsletter, NIH has formally proposed a cap on the use of NIH grant funds for publication costs in a blog post and an associated request for information. STM CEO Caroline Sutton met with the NIH Office of Science Policy in August and was told that they are very open to the comments, and want to consider potential unintended consequences of the proposed options as well as alternatives. STM continues to strongly encourage all members to submit comments through the 15 September deadline.
