NIH Notices: NIH RPPR Requirements | AHRQ RPPR Implementation and Uniform Due Dates

MU Grants Community,

Please take note of the following: 

• Reminder: NIH Requires the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for All Type 5 Progress Reports
  (NOT-OD-15-014)
  As of October 17, 2014, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) requires grantees to submit all type 5 progress reports using the RPPR module in eRA Commons. Annual progress reports submitted in any format other than the RPPR will not be processed by the NIH and will require resubmission through the RPPR.   

• AHRQ Implements the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) and Uniform Progress Report Due Dates
  (NOT-HS-15-001)
  All Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) grantees, exclusive of recipients of multi-year funded awards, will have the ability to use the eRA commons RPPR module beginning October 19, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, AHRQ will require use of the RPPR module. Also, effective October 19, 2014, AHRQ will standardize all annual progress report due dates. 

Should you have questions about the applicability of these policies to current or anticipated projects, please contact your OSPA Pre-Award or Post-Award staff.
