CRUK OA policy change: Library support package

Following the announcement of changes to Cancer Research UK (CRUK)’s Open Access policy, the Library’s Office for Open Research has developed a coordinated package of support for CRUK-funded researchers at The University of Manchester. From October 2026, CRUK will no longer provide funding for Open Access publishing charges, so we are working to ensure researchers have the guidance they need to understand their options, remain compliant with policy requirements and navigate the transition with confidence. Our support package has been developed in close partnership with colleagues at CRUK Manch
