Overview

This site describes a project funded by the National Library of Medicine and completed by team members from the University of Florida Health Science Center Libraries from 2013-2015.

UF Women's Health/Sex and Gender Differences in Health Open Access Fund

This limited-time and limited-focus funding supports the goal of making UF research findings immediately, freely and globally available. Provided by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Research on Women’s Health, this funding aims to assist UF authors without funding from other sources by defraying the costs of reasonable article-processing fees for publishing in open access or hybrid (selected open access articles) journals.

Two important aspects of this funding:

  • Applications for funding must be submitted by August 5, 2014.
  • Only research articles on sex/gender differences in health or women’s health will be funded.

Applications submitted by the deadline and fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis.
