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

U.S. federal agencies require that federally funded scientific researchers submit their final peer-reviewed manuscripts or other results of taxpayer-supported research to their funding agency. This is in response to White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) U.S. public access policy guidance.

If you are a researcher and have authored or co-authored a peer-reviewed scientific publication resulting from U.S. federal funding, and the publication has not been submitted to the funding agency(ies), you will need to submit your manuscript for compliance with your agency's public access plan and guidance.

The following table provides links to various federal agency submission systems to aid in submission of manuscripts. Please note that agencies are working to streamline and share submissions in cases where publications are funded by more than one agency.

Updates to this table will be made as submission system information becomes available.
