RPPR: Research Performance Progress Report
is an initiative among federal agencies to introduce greater consistency for interim progress reporting, and to reduce administrative burden.
NIH RPPR process replaces eSNAP: electronic Streamlined Non-Competing Award Process.NIH RPPR is required for all awards issued under the SNAP process, and all fellowship awards, with budget start dates on or after July 1, 2013. Non-SNAP awards targeted for October 2014, but final guidance not yet issued.
What is RPPR?Slide3
RPPR contain
the following categories of information:
Standard Cover PageMandatory Component (Accomplishments)Optional Components (Agency Specific)Each Agency will utilize standard instructions developed for each category, but may also provide additional program-specific instructions necessary to clarify requirement for a particular programFollow agency specific guidance closely (one size does not fit all !)
What are the common RPPR components across all Agencies?Slide4
Describe progress, study results, the
significance of
the findings, and any significant changes.Information is pre-populated from NIH Systems:PD/PI InformationGrant NumberProject title and periodPerformance SitesPersonnelDue 45 days prior to budget start date for SNAP, and 60 days prior for FellowshipsHow are RPPR and eSNAP similar?Slide5

RPPR Features to RememberSlide9
Progress Report Additional Materials (PRAM):
Electronic mechanism for NIH to request more information in connection with a progress report
. Currently being utilized to correct for “non-compliant” publications.Allows SU to respond to such requests (PI, SO).All investigators should be aware of the NIH Public Access Policy to avoid PRAM requests and/or delays to funding because of “non-compliant” publications: http://publicaccess.nih.gov/What is PRAM?Slide10
PIs/PDs need to prompt their graduate students and undergraduate students to create eRA Commons Logins
now
. Phased in implementation - RPPR warnings effective beginning 10/18/2013; Required with RPPR submissions October 2014.…additional information NOT-OD-13-097.Other Key Points Slide11
Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for all Graduate Students and Postdoc Researchers supported by NIH.
IDPs
will help these individuals achieve career goals within the biomedical research workforce.Institutions will be strongly encouraged to develop IDPs and report on these for such individuals reported as “Participants” on the RPPR beginning October 2014. See NOT-OD-13-093Other Key Points Slide12
Please look for OSP’s newly created RPPR Summary Guidance tool, Coming Soon!
