Elsevier has established agreements and developed policies to allow authors who publish in Elsevier journals to comply with manuscript archiving requirements of the following funding bodies, as specified as conditions of researcher grant awards. 

- Arthritis Research Campaign (UK)
- British Heart Foundation (UK)
- Cancer Research (UK)
- Chief Scientist Office
- Department of Health (UK)
- Howard Hughes Medical Institute (US)
- Medical Research Council (UK)
- National Institutes of Health (US)
- Wellcome Trust (UK)

These agreements and policies enable authors to comply with their funding body’s archiving policy without having to violate their publishing agreements with Elsevier. The agreements and policies are intended to support the needs of Elsevier authors, editors and society publishing partners, and to protect the quality and integrity of the peer-review process. They are examples of Elsevier’s ongoing engagement with scientific and academic communities to explore ways to deliver demonstrable and sustainable benefits for the research communities we serve. 

Authors who report research supported by funding bodies not listed above, and who are concerned that their author agreement may be incompatible with archiving requirements specified by a funding body that supports an author’s research, are strongly encouraged to contact Elsevier’s author support team.  Elsevier has a track record of working on behalf of our authors to ensure that authors can always publish in Elsevier journals and still comply with archiving conditions defined in research grant awards.
