	The Scientist : Wellcome insists on open access
		Britain's Wellcome Trust said today (May 19) that after October 1 of this year, all new grant recipients will be required to post any papers arising from the funded research in an open-access repository.
		The trust, the United Kingdom's biggest nongovernment funder of life sciences research, said that grant recipients would need to deposit their papers within 6 months of publication, either with the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) PubMed Central or with a UK version the Wellcome Trust and others want to establish.
		Wellcome should have required researchers to deposit articles in a repository held by his own institution, from which it could be harvested by PubMed Central or its UK version, Harnad said.

	Henry Wellcome and the Wellcome Trust, by Brian Deer
		Wellcome's expedition to the Sudan (between 1911 and 1914) was one of the more telling incidents of his life, and he brought back to London a number of historic finds.
		Henry Wellcome's wonder product was almost certainly lemon juice and, though one might forgive a teenage boy for the element of prank, even the author of an otherwise anodyne trust pamphlet, published in 1980, could not avoid observing that his claims "set the pattern for the future".
		Henry Wellcome's campaigns for the Tabloid brand medicines, his free supplies to people in the public eye and his lavish entertaining were all forbears in their modest way to what his empire does today.

	A question of trust
		Wellcome Trust funding is so important in Britain that nobody is prepared to bite the hand that feeds them.
		Wellcome's will specified that trustees should be paid, and over the years the governors have gone to court to update the value of this remuneration.
		The scientific calibre of the Wellcome governors is such that it is not surprising that they and their associates should attract trust funding, says one senior biomedical scientist.

	Henry Wellcome
		Wellcome was only nine years old when he was made captain of a team of boys assigned to cast bullets from melted pewter during the Dakota Uprising of 1862.
		Wellcome was constantly reminded of the eruptive violence of the Andes, the threat of an earthquake or rock slide.
		The Wellcome brothers were not among the anointed that day who donned ascension robes and mounted the rooftops and hilltops of New England,78 but their enthusiasm for the Second Advent withstood the ridicule heaped on the Millerites after the Great Disappointment.

	Position statement in support of open access publishing
		The mission of the Wellcome Trust is to foster and promote research with the aim of improving human and animal health.
		The Wellcome Trust has a fundamental interest in ensuring that the availability and accessibility of this material is not adversely affected by the copyright, marketing and distribution strategies used by publishers (whether commercial, not-for-profit or academic).
		The Wellcome Trust therefore supports unrestricted access to the published output of research as a fundamental part of its charitable mission and a public benefit to be encouraged wherever possible.

	The Scientist : Wellcome support for open access
		Britain's Wellcome Trust has thrown its support behind open-access publishing of scientific research, after a report it commissioned came to the conclusion that the publishing status quo does not operate in the interests of scientists or the public.
		The trust, which plans to distribute more than £400 million (approximately $662 million) in funding to biomedical sciences in the year 2003–2004, commissioned economic development consultants SQW to undertake a thorough investigation into the £22 billion (approximately $36 billion) scientific publishing industry.
		Mark Walport, director of the Wellcome Trust, said his organization is committed to ensuring that the results of the science it funds are disseminated widely and are freely available.

	eMJA:Ogilvie, Working with the Wellcome Trust (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		All Wellcome Trust PhD students are expected to take part in communication courses during their studentship and the Trust also tries to monitor the quality of their supervision.
		However, even when the Wellcome Trust was a relatively small organisation, it tried to ensure that an increasing percentage of the grants awarded were for more than three years and that all grants were fully funded (ie, were not reduced in an arbitrary way to spread funds around).
		As The Wellcome Trust now has over 3000 active grants at any one time, it is not an easy matter to determine outcomes, especially when the main outcome, publication, mostly occurs some years after a grant ends and new knowledge may take years before it bears fruit in the form of better medical care.

		The Wellcome Trust's new policy mandating open access to the results of all Wellcome-funded research went into effect on October 1, 2005.
		Note that the Wellcome Trust policy differs from NIH's own open access policy by requiring the deposit rather than merely requesting it, and by insisting that the deposit be upon acceptance for publication, without any allowance for publisher embargoes.
		Interestingly, the Wellcome policy places the responsibility for depositing material squarely on the shoulders of the author, and expects that an author will either reach agreement with his or her publisher that the material will be deposited or find another publisher.

		According to Danny Truell, the chief investment officer, the trust had considered issuing a bond back in the 1960s, but at that stage, there was not enough demand for long-dated bonds.
		But the Wellcome Trust is doing just that; borrowing money to exploit the risk premium (both on equities and the liquidity premium available in property and venture capital).
		One can argue that the Wellcome Trust is a special case, without the cashflow pressures that may well befall a corporate pension fund.
