NIH,the Recovery Act and Grants.gov
We are all very excited about the recent American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) legislation, which provides an unprecedented level of funding ($8.2 billion in extramural funds) to the NIH to help stimulate the US economy through the support and advancement of scientific research.
Some concerns have been noted in the media regarding the ability of Grants.gov and agency systems to handle the additional demand for grant information and volume of grant application submissions related to the ARRA. NIH is working closely with Grants.gov and other Federal agencies/entities to take all possible steps, in the timeframe available, to meet the increased needs of the biomedical research community.
NIH plans to continue to receive applications through Grants.gov, both through the downloadable Adobe forms and via system-to-system solutions. Of course we will continue to carefully monitor the systems for issues and make adjustments as needed.
**Please note: NIH has seen a recent surge in Commons registration requests due to the ARRA. We are asking you to help us spread the word to potential applicants who are not yet registered for Commons. Please advise them to registration as early as possible to ensure their ability to successfully submit.

*Obama Makes NIH Access Policy Permanent*
A provision in the 2009 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. No.
111-8), signed into law by President Obama on March 11, makes permanent the National Institutes of Health's public access policy. The policy requires the deposit in PubMed Central of all manuscripts that result from NIH-funded research, within 12 months of their publication in a peer-reviewed journal. When it was implemented last April, the initial policy was subject to annual renewal. The law now states, "The director of NIH shall require in the current fiscal year and thereafter that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication:
*Provided,*That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law." While libraries and others have praised the policy, publishers have opposed it, and a bill is pending in Congress that would temporarily suspend it. The new law's mention of "consistent with copyright law" leaves the debate open still, as publishers have claimed the policy violates copyright laws. http://appropriations.house.gov/
