Mandate for public access to NIH-funded research poised to become law
Date:10/24/2007

mely, much-needed, and we anticipate an indication of increasingly enhanced access in future.

American businesses will benefit tremendously from improved access to NIH research, said William Kovacs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce vice president for environment, technology and regulatory affairs. The Chamber encourages the free and timely dissemination of scientific knowledge produced by the NIH as it will improve both the public and industrys ability to become better informed on developments that impact them and on opportunities for innovation. The Chamber is the worlds largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses of every size, sector, and region.

We welcome the NIH policy being made mandatory and thank Congress for backing this important step, said Gary Ward, Treasurer of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). Free and timely public access to scientific literature is necessary to ensure that new discoveries are made as quickly as feasible. Its the right thing to do, given that taxpayers fund this research. The ASCB represents 11,000 members and publishes the highly ranked peer-reviewed journal, Molecular Biology of the Cell.

Joseph added, On behalf of the taxpayers, patients, researchers, students, libraries, universities, and businesses that pressed this bill forward with their support over the past two years, the ATA thanks Congress for throwing its weight behind the success of taxpayer access to taxpayer-funded research.

Negotiators from the House and Senate are expected to meet to reconcile their respective bills this fall. The final, consolidated bill will have to pass the House and the Senate before being delivered to the President at the end of the year.
