Reminder to Begin Reporting on Individual Development Plans

Posted

As a reminder, two changes to progress reporting take effect in October. First, reporting on the use of individual development plans is required as described in NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-14-113 and a previous Rock Talk blog.

Additionally, the federal-wide progress reporting format — known as the RPPR (Research Performance Progress Report) — is required for all type 5 non-SNAP progress reports submitted on or after October 17, 2014. Please read the announcement in the NIH Guide and the June Extramural Nexus article for more information.

  1. Why should each project progress report contain the information for an institution on “whether the institution uses IDPs or not and how they are employed to help manage the training and career development of those individuals” when it seems that each institution should just report on this once at the Institutional level. This seems to unnecessarily increase the paperwork burden of the Investigators. This would also seem to be a “slippery slope” in beginning to add institutional/administrative requirements to the progress reports that could distract from the content of the actual progress report.
