The open-access Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) now offers memberships --for individual scholars, universities, departments, libraries, and even societies and funding agencies (eight flavors in all). See the web site for the variety of prices and benefits. According to Gunther Eysenbach's blog, one funding agency to buy a membership is Health eTechnologies (an office of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). As a result of the membership, Health eTechnologies will encourage its grantees to publish in JMIR and up to two of its principal investigators per year may publish in JMIR without charge.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
