Important features of RPPR Not cumulative: only the past project year Text boxes o have character limits and a countdown feature PLAN AHEA... o Can paste into text boxes BUT: special characters and formatting will not reproduce character count still applies File uploads are limited to 6 MB each NIH-specific notes and coaching are indicated with the PHS logo throughout 7
RPPR Structure A. Cover Page B. Accomplishments C. Products D. Participants E. Impact F. Changes G. Special (NIH) Reporting Requirements 8
B. Accomplishments B.1 Major goals is RPPR-speak for NIH Specific Aims. o Add in the first RPPR; in future years, prepopulates B. 2 What was accomplished under these goals? 1) Major activities. Focus on distinct measurable outcomes ( we trained 5 students, 3 graduated, 4 participated in summer research training... ) 2) Specific objectives. Be concise 3) Significant results. Focus on the particular year s activities. 4) Key outcomes. Should be the real highlights! 9
B. Accomplishments (cont.) B.4 What opportunities for training and professional development... Focus on activities done within the program, within the past year. B.2 and B.4 must be distinct 10
C.1 Publications The My NCBI compliance report generated by RPPR must be used to report publications and demonstrate compliance with the NIH Public Access policy. Awards will be not placed on hold until grantees have demonstrated compliance for all publications; however, all compliance issues must be resolved. 11
Reporting publications in RPPR 1. Trainers submit student publications to NIH PubMed Central manuscript archive and provide the full citations and PMCIDs to the PD (or designee). 2. PD or designee creates a MyBibliography account for the R25 program using My NCBI and affiliates publications with the award. 3. PI or designee runs the MyBibliography compliance check off line before starting RPPR. (just to check...) 4. RPPR will prepopulate with the Public Access Compliance Report. 12
If corrections are needed, use PRAM 13
D. Participants D.1 What individuals worked on this project? o Do NOT include participants appointed by 2271 (xtrain)! 14
G. Special Reporting G.1 Special Notice of Award Terms and Funding Opportunity Announcement Reporting Requirements Attach tables to this section (multiple PDFs) G.2 Responsible Conduct of Research Components should include format, subject matter, faculty participation, duration of instruction, frequency of instruction; highlight changes 15
