No
A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
UAB has no open access policy but our researchers must comply with federal funding mandates put forth by the various federal funding agencies. A large majority of UAB sponsored research is NIH-funded and subject to the open access policies of the NIH.
In addition, our libraries are members of SPARC http://sparcopen.org/. The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University Libraries, has released a new resource for tracking, comparing, and understanding U.S. federal funded research data sharing policies. This free tool, launched at datasharing.sparcopen.org, provides a detailed analysis of 16 federal agency responses to the directive issued by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) on Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Research. Specifically, the new resource focuses on how these agencies intend to make the digital data associated with the projects they fund available for access and reuse.
