Reporting

The Post Award Award team is able to provide a number of reports to assist PIs and departments during award monitoring. Here are some reports that we have available and what they detail.

Annual Progress Reports are mandatory for continued funding and must be submitted accurately and on time. NIH uses the RPPR, with defined timelines (45-60 days pre-budget start). Reports document scientific progress, personnel, compliance, publications and plans for the next period. CMS requires similar annual or periodic progress reporting.

The RPPR report is due within 9 days of the award end date for most federal grants. Reports range from a summary and list of publications to a complete, exhaustive compilation of the project results. The PI is responsible for submitting all technical reports in the correct form according to the award terms.

NIH requires submission fo the final RPPR report via eCommons. The PI logs into eRA Commons and clicks on the status tab at the top of the screen. The PI selects the "Requires Closeout". Once the PI has completed the final reporting electronically, they should route to OSP to provide the institutional approval of the final RPPR report.

Most Sponsors require the university to report any inventions, discoveries or other novel commercial developments resulting from the funded project. Many federal agencies also require a report on property disposition.
