Did you receive National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds or grants? Did you use equipment or facilities that received NIH funds or grants? Your peer-reviewed article probably needs a PMCID number. Without the PMCID number, you may be denied future funding. (Federal law PL 110-161, Division G, Title 2, section 218) Use the resources below for more information.
