AHRQ Guide Notice- Upcoming Mandatory Submission of Final Reports in eRA Commons

/ Contract and Grant News /
Dear Colleagues:
Below is a summary of a recent AHRQ Guide Notice. Please review the notice and forward it to faculty, researchers and staff, as appropriate. Questions regarding the notices should be directed to your Federal Contract and Grant Officer.
The purpose of this Guide Notice is to inform the AHRQ grant recipient community of an upcoming change in Final Reporting Requirements.
Beginning October 1, 2024, AHRQ will transition to using eRA’s GC module for closeout-related actives of final reports, which is a change from prior instructions for all awards that end after October 1, 2024.
Grant recipients will begin submitting their Final Research Performance Progress Report (F-RPPR), which replaces the Final Progress Report for closeout) and Final Invention Statement (FIS) directly in eRA’s Commons module, which will enable AHRQ to utilize eRA’s GC module for closeout.
The final Federal Financial Report (FFR) is still to be submitted via the Payment Management System (PMS) as outlined in NOT-HS-21-001. The “Manage FFR” button in the eRA Commons navigates users to PMS.
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.344, all final reports (the F-RPPR, FFR and FIS) are due within 120 days of the project period end date.
This change of reporting requirements supersedes any prior terms of awards or other applicable instructions for awards that end after October 1, 2024.
