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) 15

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. 17

Multi-Project RPPRs  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 18

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 20

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 21

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 BibliographyMy NCBI –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

Public Access Policy (cont.) Compliance indicated in RPPR Section C.1 or the PHS 2590 PDF report generated by My NCBIPDF report –(A sample report is available online)sample report 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 policy to receive an award Additional resources available at and NIH Extramural Staff page Extramural Staff Direct questions to 23
