YES!  For NIH applications, people used to put it at the end of the
specific aims section.  If it needs to be long, the new one page limit on
specific aims means it will need to go early in the Research Strategy.

As the purpose of is to assist the reader with the scientific narrative (=
NIH research plan/strategy), it makes little sense to put it somewhere
else in the proposal.

I use to advise such a list only for those proposals where the jargon was
heavy and unavoidable.  But the new 12+1 at NIH is a paradigm shift and
MAYBE acronym lists will be one way (among hundreds to appear soon?) to
get more info across in less space.
