To comply with the NIH's Public Access Policy, a PMCID number is required in NIH grant applications, proposals and progress reports for any paper "authored by you or arose from your NIH funds (even if you are not an author)" http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c8.
One way to find the PMCID number is to use PubMed Central's PMID : PMCID Converter available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid .
If you already have the PMID from a PubMed search (it may appear as the
Accession Number in your EndNote library), the above converter will
provide you with the corresponding PMCID to include in your grant.
If you do not have the PMID number, you can look up PMCID's in PubMed. It will be listed in the lower right corner of the AbstractPlus view. A PMCID number will be assigned as soon as an article has successfully been submitted to PMC. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#c9
If you have questions about the NIH Public Access Policy, the Library's
web site outlining the key points is available at: http://www.scripps.edu/library/nihpolicy.html.
The NIH Public Access Policy web site is available at: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm
You may contact NIH with your questions about compliance by sending an email to PublicAccess@nih.gov - response time is usually within 24 to 48 hours.

AuthorMapper
AuthorMapper is a free online tool for visualizing scientific research. Search results allow you to discover other researchers, institutions and journals in a particular subject area. Graphs, timelines, and other visual aids are also featured. The site searches the Springer Journal collection which numbers around 1900 titles, so while not comprehensive it is an interesting application from the second largest science publisher.
Here's a sample search using the subject "polymer sciences" and the institution "The Scripps Research Institute".
Under search results you have four clickable tabs: articles, authors, institutions and journals. Along the left-hand side a keyword cloud appears (top keyword = structural proteomics) as well as a graph of the years published (top year = 2007), top published authors (most published = Peter Wright) , and journals (top journal = Journal of Biomolecular NMR).
