Three years ago U.S. policy was enacted to ensure public access to the published results of publicly funded research including that of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In three short years, the policy has come to deliver free and open access to over two million full-text articles, which are accessed by nearly half a million PubMed Central users from all sectors of the public every day including SADS Foundation patients and professionals.

This milestone is a critical opportunity for public access supporters to press for the expansion of the successful NIH policy to other federal agencies. If you're interestd in supporing this meaningful policy, contact your policy makers by April 14th to tell them this policy cannot be left by the wayside.
