At this time, the open access requirements apply to CIHR Grant programs (i.e. research projects) and not our training and salary awards. We recognize that training and salary awards may support research publication, however most awards are not designed to fund research projects or dissemination activities. As such, researchers and trainees who publish while holding a CIHR salary/training award do not have to adhere with the open access requirements unless the research being published was funded by a CIHR grant. CIHR does however, encourage CIHR researchers and trainees to consider archiving all their research papers in open access repositories, including PubMed Central Canada (when established) in order to increase the dissemination of research findings.
