NIH Publications Clearances
All NIH publications intended for external audiences must be cleared through OASPA. Contact Jan Ehrman with any questions.
Process for Publications (new or revised)
1 Fill out the HHS-615 "Publication Planning and Clearance Request" form.
Microsoft Word form - fill it out electronically
Adobe Acrobat version - print it out and fill it in by hand
2 Submit the signed form to Jan Ehrman of the OCPL Editorial Operations Branch, Building 31, 5B52. The form will be forwarded to OASPA for review. You may expect it back with OASPA's comments within 2-4 weeks. Even if your request is approved conditionally — that is, if OASPA requires you to make changes to your publication plan — there is no need to resubmit the HHS-615.

Adobe Acrobat version
4 Submit the signed form with the completed text and captions for your publication to Jan Ehrman. Your manuscript will be reviewed and returned within 7-10 days with any requested changes clearly marked.
5 Work with your AO to generate a CSA request for printing form.

Your package will be reviewed and returned with a signature indicating that it is ready to take to print.
