Acknowledging BPC and CEDA

Correctly Acknowledge a Supporting Grant

Both CEDA and BPC benefit greatly from publications that are generated either directly or indirectly from Center support. The most obvious means of direct support is via a pilot grant. Any work flowing immediately from the pilot, or downstream from follow-on work, are appropriate for connecting to the grant. Other direct support is from work presented at a conference sponsored or cosponsored by the Center(s) that led to a publication. Indirect support is from collaborations commenced at conferences, use of data provided by the Centers (e.g. Full Count), or with discretion, publications emerging from grants that prepared and submitted with Center support.

In Publications

The suggested language for publications is:

  • BPC: “We acknowledge support from the Berkeley Population Center at the University of California, Berkeley, which is funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (P2CHD073964). It is subject to the NIH Public Access Policy. Through acceptance of this federal funding, NIH has been given a right to make this manuscript publicly available in PubMed Central upon the Official Date of Publication, as defined by NIH.”
  • CEDA: ”We acknowledge support from the Center on Economics and Demography of Aging at the University of California, Berkeley, which is funded by the National Institute of Aging (P30AG012839). It is subject to the NIH Public Access Policy. Through acceptance of this federal funding, NIH has been given a right to make this manuscript publicly available in PubMed Central upon the Official Date of Publication, as defined by NIH.”

Submitting Publications to the PubMed Central Library

Per the NIH Public Access Policy, all peer-reviewed publications published after April 2008 that received even partial funding from NIH, through a grant, conference, fellowship, training grant, or other source must submit a final version of their paper into the PubMed system upon acceptance for publication to get a PMCID number. Here are instructions for the PMCID Process.
