NIA Logo Policy (V体育安卓版)

As is the case for all U.S. federal government logos, Department of Health and Human Services logos are protected by law from unauthorized use. The NIH Office of Communications and Public Liaison maintains the policy for use of NIH logos, including the NIA logo. 

Use of NIH logos can suggest or appear as an endorsement and may unintentionally imply direct NIH involvement. The NIH and NIA logos are for government use only and not for the use of the private sector, regardless of whether a grant recipient, vendor, or contractor is a not-for-profit entity. 

NIH logo guidance prohibits: 

• Use of NIH/NIA logos by outside groups without, in exceedingly rare circumstances, express written permission
• Use of the NIH/NIA name or logo in a social media handle
• Creation of new logos for any purpose including new programs, labs, or offices 
• Creation of “swag” (e.g., lab coats, shirts, hoodies, pens) imprinted with logos 

NIA-funded researchers and institutions must still credit NIA on their websites or other materials in text, e.g., “This research was supported by grant #### from the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health.”

For more information, visit the NIH webpage on Communicating and Acknowledging Federal Funding.
