Completing an RPPR can be a daunting challenge especially if one is new to the process. This session will go through an actual Progress Report (RPPR), section by section in detail explaining the requirements that NIH will review. The session will go over addressing the common errors and warnings and how to avoid the common pitfalls that result in a late submission or a non-compliant RPPR that can result in further inquiry from NIH. This session will go over the difference between SNAP and Non-SNAP RPPRs, Multiple component RPPRs, completion of the Budget Section H for applicable activity codes and dive into HSS/ASSIST for Human Subjects reporting requirements. Difference between Annual, Interim, and Final reports will also be discussed.
