Funding Agency Policies
Due to the growing demand for a visible and public return on funded research, more and more funding agencies are adopting open access or data-archiving mandates as a condition of funding. Here are some of the largest non-governmental policies:
-
Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationWe have adopted an Open Access policy that enables the unrestricted access and reuse of all peer-reviewed published research funded, in whole or in part, by the foundation, including any underlying data sets.
-
Howard Hughes Medical Institute public access policyThese policies are intended to ensure that HHMI research furthers the public good by providing guidelines for making research materials, tools, and publications widely accessible within the scientific community and beyond.
-
The Wellcome TrustThe Wellcome Trust supports unrestricted access to the published output of research as a fundamental part of its charitable mission and a public benefit to be encouraged wherever possible.
-
Wellcome Trust Policy on data, software and materials management and sharingMaking data available in a timely and responsible way makes sure other researchers can verify it, build on it and use it to advance knowledge and make health improvements. Similarly, making software or materials available to the research community supports reproducibility and can underpin further research.

The updated guidance now requires any research that receives federal funding to be freely accessible without a delay. All federal agencies must have updated plans in place by December 31st, 2025.
