YES, both NIH and UNMC Sponsored Programs Administration consider this an allowable cost. If your goal is to reduce fee charges for uploading your manuscript or article, check to make sure the publisher's agreement allows authors to self-submit, and do it yourself using the NIH Manuscript Submission site. Robin Taylor (rtaylor@unmc.edu) can help if you haven't done an upload before.
