NIH Speeds Up Public Access to Research Findings

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya announced the acceleration of the 2024 Public Access Policy, making all NIH-funded research findings immediately available to the public starting July 1, 2025. This move aims to increase public trust in science and ensure that taxpayer investments yield replicable, reproducible, and generalizable results benefiting all Americans. The earlier implementation will break down barriers to accessing research, fostering broader application and translation of scientific discoveries.
