Terminology

Multi-Project RPPR: A progress report submitted for a funded program (activity code)

which has multiple, interrelated components that share a common focus or objective.

A “component” (for the purposes of applications and progress reports) is a distinct, reviewable part of a multi-project application or progress report for which there is a business need to gather detailed information identified in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Components typically include general information (component

organization, project period, project title, etc.), performance sites, personnel, and budget.

The FOA defines the construction and naming convention for the application; the funded application defines the construction and naming convention for the progress report.

17

Multi-Project RPPRsMulti-Project RPPRs

Multi-Project RPPRs The RPPR will include all activity codes that have

been coded to have multiple components. Multi-project (e.g., P01, P30)

Projects with more than one component RPPR structure

RPPR questions at overall project level RPPR questions at the component level

Questions not applicable to component E.g., Publications, Websites, Inventions, Participants,

Inclusion/Enrollment, Unobligated Balance

Items for ConsiderationItems for Consideration

Checking for errors NIH RPPR Instruction Guide, Section 5.3

Program Guidelines [FOR NIH STAFF ONLY] Provide consistent IC guidelines for completing RPPRs

21

Public Access Policy

• NIH will delay processing Type 5s that are not compliant with the public access policy.

• Bringing papers into compliance:– Use My NCBI’s My Bibliography

– Process may take several weeks

• PD/PIs must collaborate with project leads and supported authors to ensure all papers are in My Bibliography and thus linked to the RPPR.

• For additional resources: see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm.

22

Public Access Policy (cont.)

• Compliance indicated in RPPR Section C.1 or the PHS 2590 PDF report generated by My NCBI – (A sample report is available online)

• Notifications of Public Access non-compliance– Automatically sent to grantees for RPPRs– Manually sent by POs to grantees for PHS 2590s

• Awardees must provide evidence of compliance with the public access policy to receive an award

• Additional resources available at http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ and NIH Extramural Staff page 

• Direct questions to PublicAccess@NIH.gov.
