In 2017, NIH announced (NOT-OD-17-050) that preprints and other interim research products can be cited in NIH grant applications. Common in other scientific fields, but relatively new in biomedical science.

Absolutely! We're asking SROs to emphasize this in the pre-meeting training & will include it in the summer orientations for incoming Chairs.

Not sure a formal NOT was needed as many were already doing it. But this is progress. Reviewers will better have a closer look at these pre-prints : very uneven quality.
