NARRATOR: NIH Public Access Policy and grant applications, anything relating to grants that are NIH. So you need to include the PubMed Central ID -- and they'll tell you that, they'll send it back to you if it's not there--anything you cite that has been funded by an NIH grant or the NIHMS ID.
Two numbers show compliance. That needs to be in biosketches. Again, if you're doing something on a training grant where there might be anywhere from 10 to 60 faculty and you have to include their biosketch, their biosketch has to be in compliance. Then your progress reports, your competing or non-competing renewal, anything you cite in those documents, you're citing a publication that was NIH grant funded. It's better to do it before, rather than when you get the message from either the ORSP people or from NIH. So we're very lucky here, we have these gatekeepers upfront who actually will not pass it on to NIH until it's in compliance. There are many institutions that don't have that gatekeeper, and they send it directly to NIH and then they get it back. Even though it may have been submitted on time...they're gonna hold, it they're not going to process it until until they're in compliance. So here are the different numbers to show compliance, and those journals that deposit the final version, that are on that list in Method A, you can say 'PMC Journal - In Process' because they actually get 12 months to do the deposit. They don't necessarily have to do it right away, so that's why you indicate 'PMC Journal - In Process.' Here's what it looks like. Do NOT include the PMID. Every record in MEDLINE has a PMID. That's a social security number. That does not show compliance, and that's going to be a red flag for the people over at Wolverine Tower or NIH saying 'Uh-uh, this isn't what you need. We need either a PMCID or a NIHMSID or PMC Journal - In Process.'
Two, three, and four are the only ones that show compliance. I wouldn't even go with a PMID because that's going to be a red flag. 'Why are they putting this in? This isn't what we want.' Now, I've had people say, 'Well, what do I have to do with CVs?' You can do anything with CVs. You can put a PMID and a PMCID if you'd like. Or the NIHMSID because the CV does not go to NIH. It's the faculty's personal resume--CV showing their publications. So you can include anything, all, or nothing in the CVs. So this is what it might look like, someone citing it. So...the use of the NIHMSID which you saw in some of those examples. It's a temporary number. At the beginning of the--when the policy went into effect, people were putting in the NIHMS number and walking away, and just leaving it there for months or even years. NIH said, 'Uh-uh. It needs to be approved so that we can generate a PMC number.' Only three months. Again, if it's not approved, it's never totally dumped out of the system. You can always go back in somehow, either through eRA Commons, or if you can log on to the NIHMS system and just type in the NIHMSID. You'll pull it up and hit 'Approve.' So it's still there, but it just hasn't moved through to have a PMC assigned. So here's a biosketch. You can see...the PMC up there, number 3. You can see the NIHMS, number 4, and also in other places. The last one, PMC Journal - In Process. So this is what a biosketch has to look like, even if it's one of the faculty on a training grant. You have to make sure that the biosketch they send you to include in the training grant looks like this. That's why it's a good idea to start ahead of time. This is a message that a grant-holder may get. You can see they've included a PMID, but they're saying it's not in compliance. They're saying, 'You need to go to one of these methods and get that manuscript deposited.' So luckily we have our little gatekeepers who actually do this for you. So it shouldn't come from NIH. So you'll be able to do it before they pass it on to NIH. Here's a progress report. You can see 'PMC Journal - In Process' for two of the publications listed here.
