As of July 6th, the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system accepts submissions from users who have an NIH MyNCBI account. This account will enable "third parties" (e.g., administrative personnel, graduate students, etc.), with permission from the author, to deposit NIH-funded manuscripts into PubMed Central (PMC).
Previouslty, only NIH Staff or users who had Electronic Research Administration (eRA) Commons accounts could submit manuscripts to the NIHMS system. Instructions for Third Party submission may be found on the Scholarly Publishing & Open Access page.
