eRA Alert: RPPR Errantly Made Available for Non-SNAP Eligible Awards
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Due to a technical issue, eRA Commons is currently allowing for the initiation of a Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for non-SNAP awards. Per Guide Notice NOT-OD-13-035, the RPPR process can only be used for SNAP and Fellowship awards. We are working to have this issue corrected before Friday, May 3, 2013.
Please do NOT initiate RPPRs for non-SNAP grants.
RPPR currently only supports streamlined progress reports for Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards, as it lacks the functionality to provide detailed budgets. As such, the RPPR is not currently an acceptable format for a progress report for non-SNAP awards.
Submit your non-SNAP progress report using the standard paper process as described in the instruction guide for Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report PHS 2590 (Revised 08/2012).
If you inadvertently initiate an RPPR for a non-SNAP award, please revert back to the standard paper process and contact Scarlett Gibb at gibbs@mail.nih.gov so that the electronic report can be deleted from the database. Please provide all relevant information about the grant in question (grant number, organization/institution, PI Commons account name, etc.) to Scarlett.
We are sorry for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to correct the error.
