Review information on managing various types of reports for sponsored programs.<\/p>\n
Progress, Performance, or Technical reports help sponsors determine eligibility for non-competing renewal\/continuation funding.<\/p>\n
These reports:<\/p>\n
Review the award and sponsor terms & conditions to determine frequency, content, and other requirements.<\/p>\n
Late or missing progress reports can lead to delayed funding. In most cases, funding agencies will not release incremental funding without timely submission of a progress report.<\/p>\n
Most sponsors allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to submit their annual progress reports directly to the sponsor.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
Looking for guidance on your Final Progress Reports? Review guidance and information on Closeout Reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n If the sponsor allows direct submission, an Award Modification in SAGE is not required.<\/p>\n It is the PI\u2019s responsibility to retain a copy within departmental files according to 91探花Records Retention<\/a>. OSP does not need a copy.<\/p>\n If the sponsor does not allow<\/strong> a PI to submit their progress reports directly (such as USDA), you will need to submit a Modification Request in SAGE for Progress report Submission<\/a>.<\/p>\n When do I need to create a Modification Request for a progress report?<\/a><\/p>\n Most federal agencies\u00a0require the PI to submit Annual, Interim and Final RPPRs<\/a>\u00a0for grants. Some awards allow the PI to submit their RPPR directly, while others require the PI to initiate their RPPR and route\u00a0it to the Signing Official,\u00a0your OSP reviewer<\/a>.<\/p>\n We recommend PIs reach out to their departmental Grant \/ Research Administrators for help completing the RPPR or locating more details for personnel calendar months, unobligated balances etc.<\/p>\n Consider delegating the ASST role<\/a> in eRA Commons to someone who can help initiate or complete the RPPR in eRA Commons. NIH requires RPPR submission through eRA Commons.<\/p>\n All individuals identified or added as senior\/key personnel after award must complete the Financial Conflict of Interest & Other Support Disclosure training<\/a> before a Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) is submitted. This training is tracked and visible in MyResearch Training Transcript.<\/p>\n If the PI submits an RPPR directly to a sponsor, the PI is certifying that information is accurate and will comply with sponsor terms and conditions which may include this training requirement for all senior\/key personnel.<\/p>\n As a reminder, the PI retains personal responsibility and accountability for all portions of the proposal, including post-submission revisions. See GIM 1<\/a> and the UW\u2019s Current and Pending or Other Support policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n For NIH and NIH pass-through awards, OSP verifies training completion by senior\/key personnel at the time an award or noncompeting continuation funding<\/p>\n Featured Resources:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In addition to 91探花guidance, the NIH RPPR User Guide<\/a> provides instructions from NIH that apply to the Annual, Interim, and Final RPPR. <\/p>\n<\/a>Progress Reports and Award Modification Requests<\/h3>\n
