The first 10-day reporting window for ARRA recipients opens October 1, 2009 and closes October 10, 2009. All grantee institutions receiving ARRA awards through the end of September are required to register in FederalReporting.gov and submit reports during the first reporting period. Recipients will be able to review and edit their submitted data from October 11 to October 21, 2009.
Reporting Assistance
NIH/HHS has developed the following Web sites and tools to assist recipients in completing their reports as accurately and easily as possible:
- HHS Readiness Tool — provides award data from NIH and HHS electronic systems in a convenient format. Note, there have been issues with this tool providing inconsistent data for DUNS numbers and award dates. For more information, see an FAQ on the topic.
- NIH Web site dedicated to ARRA Recipient Reporting
- FAQs that are updated regularly
- Data Dictionary that provides guidance specific to NIH awards
- Link to NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-09-129 regarding Section 1512 reporting requirements
- Links to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance

Keep in Mind
- The ARRA report is not intended to be a scientific progress report and does not replace “regular” NIH reporting requirements.
- NIH awards grants to institutions, so institutional officials have the prime responsibility for reporting. PIs should contact their Office of Sponsored Research to determine their role.
- To report, recipients must be registered at FederalReporting.gov.
