REMINDER AND UPDATE STATUS OF NON-COMPETING GRANT PROGRESS REPORT NOTIFICATION
RELEASE DATE: August 5, 2003
NOTICE: NOT-OD-03-054
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
This Notice updates the NIH extramural community on the status of non-
competing grant progress report notification.
Historically, NIH reminded grantees about the submission of a progress report
by mailing a pre-printed face page. In August 2002 NIH announced a
modification of this business process and discontinued this mailing (see
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-066.html). Since
that time, the NIH Office of Extramural Research has hosted a website of Non-
competing Progress Report due date information. Located at:
http://era.nih.gov/commons/quick_queries/index.cfm#progress, grantee officials query using their
Institutional Profile Number (IPF) to return a list of "due" progress
reports. If an official is not certain of the IPF, a companion query is also
available at the site to help determine the appropriate IPF. Grantee
officials are encouraged to review this list at least once a month. Several
months of "due" information are in the query at all times and records drop
off of the list as NIH receives the progress reports. New records are added
on/around the 30th of each month.
For grantee institutions and principal investigators (PIs) registered in the
NIH eRA Commons, the progress report due information is available in the
Commons Status system. Commons-registered institutions and PIs also have
access to pre-populated face pages via Status. For more information on the
NIH Commons, see: https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/index.jsp
In an effort to improve the timely submission of non-competing progress
reports, NIH recently implemented two separate e-mail reminders to the PI.
An initial reminder is sent two months prior to the due date. Approximately
two weeks after the due date, a follow-up reminder is sent for those progress
reports that are overdue.
Progress reports should continue to be mailed directly to the NIH awarding
Institute/Center. A list of Institute/Center mailing addresses for progress
reports is found at:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/type5_mailing_addresses.htm.
The instructions in the PHS 2590 (Non-competing Progress Report) and
PHS 416-9 (Individual Kirschstein-NRSA Fellowship Progress Report) have been
updated to include information on this change in business process. Revised
PHS 2590 Instructions are located at:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/2590/instructions2/
i_submit_progress_report.htm and
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/2590/instructions2/
v_nrsa_progress_report.htm.
Revised PHS 416-9 Instructions are found at:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/416-9/phs416-9.htm#section1.
Questions concerning the web query or access through the Commons should be
addressed to the eRA Helpdesk: e-mail: [email protected]. Questions
concerning submission of progress reports should be directed to the specific
NIH Institute/Center.
