Citing the NCIBT Grant in a Publication

The NIH requires all publications resulting from federally funded research to acknowledge that support in publications and posters and to comply with the NIH Public Access policy, which requires scientist to submit their manuscripts to PubMed Central (PMC).  Failure to comply with NIH Public Access Policy may delay the processing of all grant awards linked to the article. This serious penalty has already delayed millions of dollars of NIH funding across the university system. To help ensure the success and continued funding of the NCIBT, please cite our grants.

When to Cite the Grant

Investigators are required to cite the NCIBT grant in all publications that result from any support received from the center, including

• You are receiving funding as an NCIBT investigator or collaborator on a technology research and development project
