Setting Up EndNote to Include PMCID and NIHMSID Numbers
(University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries)
Beginning May 25, 2008, all NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) when citing an article that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator or arose from the investigator's NIH award. The NIH Manuscript Submission ID (NIHMSID) may be used until the PMCID is issued.

It is important to comply with this policy in its entirety. NIH has indicated that a failure to comply with this statutory requirement may delay a future grant or jeopardize future research funding. For more information and assitance please see NIH Manuscript Submission.
