8. NIHRPPR Types and Instructions

9. RPPR Structure – 8 Sections • Cover Page • Accomplishments • Products • Participants • Impact • Changes • Special (Agency) Reporting Requirements • Budget • SF 424 (R&R) budget • Used for all RPPR types • PHS 398 Training budget • Used for some Training awards only

10. Single-Project RPPRs (e.g., R01)

11. Single-Project RPPR: Demo

12. Training RPPRs

13. Training RPPR: Demo

14. “Complex” RPPRs (e.g., P01, U01)

15. Single Project with Complicated Structure • Single Project with Complicated Structure (e.g.,UM1) • Activity codes with single budget, but complex structure • Current RPPR with Section H Budget • Activity codes currently used as both single & multi-project (when used as single project)

16. Single-Project with Complicated Structure* RPPR: Demo

17. Terminology Multi-Project RPPR: • A progress report submitted for a funded program (activity code) which has multiple, interrelated components that share a common focus or objective. A “component” (for the purposes of applications and progress reports) is a distinct, reviewable part of a multi-project application or progress report for which there is a business need to gather detailed information identified in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). • Components typically include general information (component organization, project period, project title, etc.), performance sites, personnel, and budget. • The FOA defines the construction and naming convention for the application; the funded application defines the construction and naming convention for the progress report.

18. Multi-ProjectRPPRs • Multi-Project RPPRs • The RPPR will include all activity codes that have been coded to have multiple components. • Multi-project (e.g., P01, P30) • Projects with more than one component • RPPR structure • RPPR questions at overall project level • RPPR questions at the component level • Questions not applicable to component • E.g., Publications, Websites, Inventions,Participants, Inclusion/Enrollment, Unobligated Balance

19. Multi-Project RPPR: Demo

20. RPPR PDF • eRA Commons generates PDF of report upon submission to NIH • Report will follow the order and organization of submitted RPPR • Responses to overall RPPR • Bookmarked by section and attachment • Components • Identified by grantee • Bookmarked by component name, section and attachment • Report provides high level questions and grantee responses (for ease of use) • Report available in eRA Commons

21. Items for Consideration • Checking for errors • NIH RPPR Instruction Guide, Section 5.3 • Program Guidelines [FOR NIH STAFF ONLY] • Provide consistent IC guidelines for completing RPPRs

22. Public Access Policy • NIH will delay processing Type 5s that are not compliant with the public access policy. • Bringing papers into compliance: • Use My NCBI’s My Bibliography • Process may take several weeks • PD/PIs must collaborate with project leads and supported authors to ensure all papers are in My Bibliography and thus linked to the RPPR. • For additional resources: see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm.

23. Public Access Policy (cont.) • Compliance indicated in RPPR Section C.1 or the PHS 2590 PDF report generated by My NCBI • (A sample report is available online) • Notifications of Public Access non-compliance • Automatically sent to grantees for RPPRs • Manually sent by POs to grantees for PHS 2590s • Awardees must provide evidence of compliance with the public access policyto receive an award • Additional resources available at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ and NIH Extramural Staff page • Direct questions to PublicAccess@NIH.gov.
