1. Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) Grantees may access a list of progress reports that are due using the Status page in eRA Commons, and selecting the Tab "List of Applications/Grants." The far right column on the resulting table entitled Action will include an RPPR link if a progress report is due for a SNAP (Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process) or Fellowship award. SNAP RPPRs are due the 15th of the month preceding the month in which the budget period ends. Fellowship progress reports are due two months before the beginning date of the next budget period.

4. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ What is My NCBI? A tool integrated with PubMed to track literature searches, collections of citations, and public access compliance. Key features for our discussion: Can be linked to eRA Commons accounts Commons linked users can associate publications with NIH grants Tracks NIH Public Access compliance The only way to enter publications into RPPR Creates the publications section (Section E) of PHS 2590s Other time savers: Delegation, options to share and publish bibliographies, automate searches, etc. 4

Journal 1 deposits the published version of all NIH-funded articles in PMC. Author or delegate submits final peer reviewed manuscript to the NIHMS. Journal publisher submits final peer reviewed manuscript to the NIHMS. NIHMS sends author an email asking author to approve the submitted materials for processing. Author reviews and approves the PMC- formatted manuscript.

7. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ 777 Before an author signs a publication agreement or similar copyright transfer agreement, make sure that the agreement allows the final peer-reviewed manuscript to be submitted to NIH in accordance with the Public Access Policy. We encourage authors to consider What submission method will be used? What version of the paper will be made available on PMC? Who will submit the paper? When will it be submitted? Who will approve the submission? When can the paper be made public on PMC?

13. 13 What do I do if the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) has not been assigned yet? A PMCID is usually not available until around the time of publication (see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/citation_methods.htm for more information). If using submission Methods A or B, and it has been more than three months after the official date of publication, please contact the Public Access help desk. If using submission Methods C or D, please start or complete the manuscript submission process at the NIHMS. It usually takes about 6 weeks to generate a PMCID, from start to finish. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/citation_methods.htmMethods A or Bhelp desk Methods C or D My paper has multiple authors and/or is funded from multiple NIH sources. Who should submit the final peer-reviewed manuscript? Any author may submit the final peer-reviewed manuscript, but each Principal Investigator and Institution is responsible for ensuring that the terms and conditions of their award are met. A final peer-reviewed manuscript need only be submitted once to the NIH Manuscript Submission system. Authors will be notified during the submission process if they try to submit a manuscript that has already been submitted. Papers can be assigned multiple NIH award numbers during submission. They can also be linked to an award via the eRA Commons when completing an electronic Progress Report, or listed as arising from any NIH award in writing when submitting an application, proposal or progress report.
