NIH Requires Use of Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for All SNAP and Fellowship Progress Reports, and Expands RPPR Functionality

Progress reports submitted for SNAP and Fellowship Awards that have budget start dates on or after July 1, 2013, must be submitted using the eRA Commons RPPR Module. If you have an eSNAP progress report due on or after May 15, 2013 you will be required to use this new module in the eRA Commons. If you have a fellowship award with a progress report due date of May 1 or later, you are also required to use this module.

The RPPR is the result of a federal-wide mandate for uniformity of reporting, use of electronic submissions, and more accountability. The RPPR report is a more detailed report than the eSNAP report but should not be more difficult to complete. Changes include requests for additional information about supplements or competing revisions received during the previous budget period, opportunities for training and development, dissemination of research results, and specific details about products  resulting from the project, among others.

There is also a module Progress Report Additional Materials (PRAPM) that will also become available in the near future. This means that once the report is submitted, the PRAM functionality will provide the ability for the funding Institute/Center to send a request for additional material, information or clarification concerning a submitted RPPR, and for the grantee to submit a response to that request through the eRA Commons. The PI/PD can provide the requested information and route it to OSR for submission.
