Since the last OMB approval, NIH has worked on enhancing the reporting requirements on new policies through the RPPR, which are necessary to continue enhancing the quality of basic and preclinical research, as well as NIH-funded clinical trials. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other Public Health Service (PHS) grantees are required to submit interim and final progress reports and other post-award documents associated with the monitoring, oversight, and closeout of an award. This 0925-0002 revision submission represents a collection of post-award reporting requirements previously collected under 0925-0002. Pre-award reporting requirements are simultaneously consolidated under 0925â0001 (expiration March 31, 2020 ) and the changes to the collection here are related. These updates fully implement the final and interim RPPR, and make updates to align with system enhancements and changes to key policies, including the requirement to submit SBIR/STTR Life Cycle Certification forms.
