Transition from Inclusion Management System to New Human Subjects System (HSS) as of June 9, 2018

Announces the launch of a new eRA system to manage human subjects and clinical trials information. HSS will replace the existing Inclusion Management System (IMS) and will be used by NIH staff, grant applicants, and recipients as of June 9, 2018.
Note that grantees are required to complete any in-progress enrollment records by June 8. If they are working on their RPPR on or before June 8, they will be unable to submit any in-progress inclusion data until the entire RPPR is submitted.  In this situation, they should plan to submit the entire RPPR by June 8 or wait until June 9 to enter inclusion data in the new system. Records that have not been submitted by June 8, 2018 will not be available in the Human Subjects System and will need to be re-entered. For more information please see NOT-OD-18-179.
