Advice on publication status updates before study section
My study section is scheduled for end of June, and I'd appreciate advice on how to approach the SRO regarding two publications that are highly relevant to my proposal.
Paper 1: We are posting a new manuscript to preprint next week. I plan to submit it as Post-submission Application Material (PSAM), which should satisfy the 30-calendar-day requirement before the review meeting.
Paper 2: We have a revised manuscript under review, and we anticipate a status change (acceptance) in the coming weeks — but it will likely fall within 30 days of the study section, which I understand puts it outside the standard PSAM window. Has anyone navigated this situation? Does the SRO have discretion here, or is the 30-day cutoff firm in practice?
My instinct is to contact the SRO once and lay out both situations together, rather than reaching out separately as each update comes in. Does that seem like the right approach, or is there a reason to handle them separately?
I appreciate any insight or suggestions from this group!
