NIH Amendment on Reporting Publications in Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)

NIH awardees are encouraged to electronically report any publications found in Table 1 of the RPPR which were previously reported using the paper 2590 process or as part of a competing renewal application.

NIH awardees are encouraged to electronically report any publications found in Table 1 of the RPPR that were previously reported using the paper 2590 process or as part of a competing renewal application. This transitional, one-time measure to report each publication electronically in the RPPR ensures that NIH systems can store all appropriate award-publication associations.
This notice amends instructions for reporting publications in the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR).

Current RPPR instructions direct awardees to report only those publications that have been accepted for publication during the reporting period. However, NIH can only systematically link publications to awards if those papers were reported to us electronically using RPPR or eSNAP. These definitive linkages have not been possible for publications reported on paper forms, such as the PHS 2590. Maintaining appropriate linkages between publications and awards enables electronic systems, such as My Bibliography, to automatically populate biosketches and reporting systems, such as RePORTER, to identify results of NIH supported research.
