  Research by individuals granted public grants is generally only published in scientific journals that cost thousands of dollars -- which means that normal people have a very difficult time of accessing research that they contributed (via taxes) to the funding of.

    "make the results of federally-funded research publically available free of charge within 12 months after original publication."" Hence this research will have to be made available freely.

      I don't get it, why limit the clause? why not make all research (not-related to defense/military) funded by tax payers to THE taxpayers? why put limits, like 100 million, federal/state, etc??? were no lessons learnt from Aaron's case?

        The White House doesn't have control over research funded entirely by state taxpayers.
