Why do you need this module?\nYou are being asked to prepare a portion of the RPPR, but you are uncomfortable that you don’t understand how that piece fits into the rest of the submission.\nYou are working with a CAREER (K) award postdoc. She not only has never submitted an RPPR, she has endless questions about compliance requirements and institutional routing forms.\nYou are a research administrator in a new department. You have helped prepare and submit many progress reports to NSF and other federal agencies, but never one for the NIH.\nThe PI has received an email for a delinquent interim RPPR and he asks you what that is.\nUnder a tight deadline you have looked at the NIH website for help and feel overwhelmed with the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/index.htm\" \u0014wealth of information on the RPPR\u0015, but find that much of the information (understandably) is more geared to the principal investigator. You really need a directed version that helps to integrate your efforts with your PIs. What you want is a condensed presentation building the foundation for many NIH RPPR submissions in the future. That is this module. (The same RPPR system and basic directions also are used for grants from the Agency for Heathcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).)\nTo fully prepare you to successfully submit an NIH RPPR this module will:\noutline a strategy for tackling an RPPR (and all the other annual progress reports you have to do)\ndescribe requirements for the completing RPPR\nhighlight common errors and problems with the RPPR\nWhile it is the PI’s responsibility to complete the RPPR, PIs are generally advised to work with their department research administrator minimally to complete:\nPersonnel Effort with completed eRA Commons Profiles\nUpdated Other Support\nUnobligated Balance and (if required) the Budget\nSubcontract documentation\nTo allow you to be able to coach the most novice NIH researcher, this module will touch on every requirement of the RPPR so that you see the total picture. How you actually apply this module will depend on your specific role in preparing the RPPR; regardless, your specific understanding of the continuum of processes will be invaluable to a PI and will ensure the success of submitting an error‐free, on‐time report. Institutions differ on how they implement certain aspects related to the RPPR; so, it is critical that you become familiar with your institution’s specific processes and requirements.\nDefinitions of terms used in this module will found in the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://grants.nih.gov/policy/nihgps/index.htm\" \u0014NIH Grants Policy Statement\u0015. The NIH has many excellent RPPR preparation resources for the PI and the research administrator which can be found at the found online in NIH’s \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/index.htm\" \u0014RPPR Index\u0015.\nDo know there are three kinds of RPPR to the NIH:\nThe Annual RPPR is a term and condition of award…a report required annually\nto communicate the grant’s scientific progress,\nto identify significant changes,\nto report on personnel, and\nto describe plans for the subsequent budget period or year.\nThe annual RPPR will be the focus of this presentation. There is also a Final RPPR and an Interim\nRPPR.\nFinal RPPR is part of grant closeout process to submit project outcomes in addition to the information submitted on the annual RPPR. The Final RPPR is due 120 days from the period of performance end date for the competitive segment.\nInterim RPPR is the report used instead of a Final RPPR when a renewal (Type 2) application has been submitted. If the Type 2 is not funded, the Interim RPPR serves as the Final RPPR for the project. If the Type 2 is funded, the Interim RPPR serves as the annual RPPR for the fi","cbCaiq7E9IlTJxCY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq7E9IlTJxCY","docx",576415,46,"English","# Introduction\n## Why this module is needed\n## What this module will cover\n## Definitions of RPPR types\n## Getting ready to submit the RPPR\n### Project management","[{\"question\":\"What is a NIH RPPR and who is required to prepare it?\",\"answer\":\"An NIH RPPR is a Research Performance Progress Report required annually for NIH grants and cooperative agreements.
