Revised Process for SBIR/STTR Life Cycle Certifications

Effective January 1, 2019, NIH will require SBIR/STTR grant recipients to submit the Life Cycle Certifications within the I-RPPR and the F-RPPR. Previously we did not previously require recipients to submit the actual certifications, they just had to complete and maintain them within their official files. See NOT-OD-19-025.
