Writing Guides, Style Manuals and the Publication Process in the Health Sciences

The largest U.S. federal grant-funding agencies have established requirements for sharing  publications and data resulting from research conducted using federal grant funding. An August 2022 memorandum from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy directed all federal bodies to update existing or draft new policies for immediate sharing of publications and data. 

 

How do I submit my research paper to my funding agency?

• Science.gov: If you have authored or co-authored a peer-reviewed scientific publication resulting from U.S. federal funding and the publication has not previously been submitted to the funding agency(ies), please use the links to your funding agency’s submission system.
