SPARC has released a Guide to the NIH Public-Access Policy, including helpful pages specifically for researchers (on the benefits of complying with the NIH request and suggestions on the most effective ways to do so) and librarians (on ways to inform and assist researchers).
At the same time SPARC has also released the finalized version of its Author's Addendum to help authors of journal articles retain the rights they need to authorize OA. The new version includes language for NIH-funded authors planning to deposit articles arising from their NIH-funded research in PubMed Central.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
