1. RAPPORT UPDATES SF424 Patching/Hybrid Validations
- Updating our SF424 validations
- Hybrid Validations and how they work
- Discuss potential process changes
- 2-Day deadline more important than ever
Future RAPPORT Development
- Click/Huron Grants “Product”
- Online budgeting
- OGA integration
- Early stage development
- Requesting DRA input in near future

2. SF424 Patching & Hybrid Validations
- June patch date
- Most recent SF424 validations included
- Hybrid Validations technology
~ uses web services instead of SF424 code
~ immediate updating of validations
~ no future SF424 validations patching
~ sequential error checking:
Grants.gov
NIH Global Validations
NIH Validations

3. How do Hybrid Validations Work?
GGov
Global
NIH
Each validation group is checked separately and sequentially
All validations within a group must pass to reach the next group

4. Grants.gov Validations
Must Clear Before Global Validations Run

5. Grants.gov Validations
List of items to be entered/uploaded before
Global validations will run
Federal Identifier Estimated Project Funding Executive Order Status Agreement Checkbox – Certification Statement Authorized Representative Project Summary/Abstract Project Narrative Biosketches Research Strategy Modular Budget – Directs and Indirects Detailed Budget – Effort, Salary, Fringe – Budget Justification Subaward Budget

6. Global NIH Validations
Must Clear Before NIH Validations Run

8. Questions for Department Research Administrators
How often do you validate to check for errors or use hide/show errors?
When do you typically validate the SF424?
What validations do you rely on the most?
What are your initial thoughts/questions about hybrid validations?

9. Recap & Reminder GGov Global NIH
Validations will be checked sequentially
All group validations must pass to enable the next group of validations to run
2-Day Deadline (business days) will provide time to correct NIH errors/warnings before submission

10. RAPPORT Grants Future Development
Huron/Click “Grants Product” ~out of the box, less customization ~enhanced look and navigability
Online Budgeting ~detailed budget categories ~maps to SF424 (no more manual entry!)
OGA Integration ~save time in budget set up process
About a year and a half from rolling out
Department Research Administrators will be contacted for input in the development process
