Open access call to action - Matt
----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Nick Shockey" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Mar 30, 2011 11:40 am Subject: [r2rc-members] NIH Call to Action To: "R2RC Members' Discussion" <[email protected]> Hey everyone, We have just issued a call to action around the 3rd anniversary of the NIH public access policy as an opportunity both to extend the policy and shorten its embargo period. I hope that each of you can find some time between now and April 7th to write a short letter to each of our 3 target offices (NIH, OSTP, and HHS) on behalf of your organization, and please forward me a copy of the letter when you send it. April 14th is the deadline, but it would be best if you could get it in by the 7th, which is the actual anniversary. We've been having productive conversations with these offices, so there is a real opportunity here. You can find background info, talking points, and contact information for each office here: http://www.righttoresearch.org/blog/NIHanniversary.shtml Finally, I would appreciate your or your organization's help in getting the word out about this call to action, so any posts on Twitter, Facebook, email lists, etc would be great. Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to seeing your great letters!
