Grants Progress Reporting and Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)

• Interim Supplemental Information for Sea Grant RPPRs
  • Webinar: Tuesday, March 12th from 3:00-4:00 pm ET 
    • Presentation
    • Recording
  • Also please see current specific notes below:
    • All
      • Depending on the start date, awards may require a semi-annual RPPR due AFTER a final RPPR given the automatic features of eRA. Please generally use the final RPPR information for this last semi-annual RPPR (understanding there are some small differences between what is requested). You will need to submit all requested RPPRs prior to final closeout.
      • Recipients cannot submit an RPPR if a previously submitted RPPR has not been accepted by the program officer. 
      • Please remember that the program officer has 30 days to accept an RPPR (as an aside reminder 30 days also applies to review of Revision Requests). 
    • Sea Grant Programs
      • 2024-2027 Omnibus – You do not need to include a PIER Grant Progress Report for the upcoming 8/30 RPPR (given PIER is being updated to reflect revised annual reporting guidance; signing delays, etc.)
        • Instead you can upload a document that states “No information reported at this time due to delayed funding,” where you would have uploaded those reports.
      • Knauss – See 7/19 email from oar.sg.fellows@noaa.gov and here; also reflected in Appendix B of the guidance above.
  • • Templates/blank RPPRs
      • Templates are provided to help collect information to be added into eRA, which requires question by question entry (one pdf cannot be uploaded to eRA). Please note these form-fillable templates are a close representation but not fully comprehensive at this time of what is embedded in eRA (e.g., do not include table and radial button formatting; additional detailed question guidance).
        • Semi-annual
        • Final
    • We appreciate your patience as we continue to track final, more comprehensive agency-wide guidance with the eRA team, and streamlined integration with other reporting mechanisms.
