Tell your Congressional delegation to support OA

SPARC and Public Knowledge have each created action pages to help U.S. citizens send messages to their Congressional delegation supporting the House Appropriations Committee's recommendation that the NIH require open access to NIH-funded research. See the SPARC action page and the PK action page. Also see SPARC's new backgrounder, The Case for Open Access to Taxpayer-funded Research. "Open access to taxpayer-funded research is good for science, good for education, good for patients, and good for the American taxpayer."
