NIH voluntary posting policy US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting
(" Public Access") policy Elsevier facilitates author response to the NIH voluntary posting request (referred to as the NIH "Public
Access Policy", see http://www.nih.gov/about/publicaccess/index.htm) by posting the peer-reviewed author's manuscript directly
to PubMed Central on request from the author, 12 months after formal publication. Upon notification from Elsevier of acceptance, we will
ask you to confirm via e-mail (by e-mailing us at NIHauthorrequest@elsevier.com) that your work has received NIH funding
and that you intend to respond to the NIH policy request, along with your NIH award number to facilitate processing. Upon such confirmation,
Elsevier will submit to PubMed Central on your behalf a version of your manuscript that will include peer-review comments, for posting

for you to post your manuscript directly with PubMed Central, and any such posting is prohibited.
