1. THE EASIEST WAY is to manage this while you are submitting the manuscript to the journal. Most journals will ask if you've received NIH funding. Check 'yes' and they will likely help you comply with the policy and navigate the copyright agreement between the journal and the NIH. If you are unsure about this, ask your mentor or the journal.

2. Or, you can submit the manuscript yourself in the NIHMS system. *Make sure you have obtained the right to deposit the appropriate version of the manuscript* More about the NIH Manuscript Submission System here.
