Reporting and Evaluation

Sea Grant strives to achieve excellence in accomplishing its mission. To support this, the Sea Grant programs are constantly engaged in a rotating cycle of planning, reporting and evaluating themselves.

Grants Progress Reporting and Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR)

Interim Supplemental Information for Sea Grant RPPRs
- GEMS/eRA Updates
  - See 12/14/2023 Update
    - Any recipient with a progress or financial report due between August 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 will be granted an extension to April 30, 2024 to submit the report.
    - If you had multiple RPPR tasks between 9/23/2023 and 3/31/2024 and were unable to submit the reports due to an eRA migration issue, DOC will allow recipients to simplify the older RPPR and submit a comprehensive report for the latest RPPR due. While an entire RPPR submission is required via eRA Commons, it is reasonable to simplify the older RPPR and submit the comprehensive report for the latest RPPR due.
    - See link above for more details.
