I want to share information on two updated resources, the OCGA Current and Pending (Other) Support webpage and NIH’s updated RPPR Guide.
The OCGA Current and Pending Support webpage.
As we have been discussing at the monthly Research Administration Forums, Federal agencies are starting in earnest to update their disclosure forms (Bio-sketch reporting and Current and Pending (Other) Support) to comply with NSPM-33 and CHIPS and Science Act requirements. The OCGA website is updated to reflect current sponsor guidance, provide tips on what type of support to include, where to identify sources of support, tips for streamlining reviews and issues that arise. Please check this site frequently as sponsors are continuing to roll out new requirements (most recently on October 1st, 2024, NASA required new forms and new certifications for the PI and Organization). We expect more sponsors to begin requiring their version of the common disclosure forms over the next few months.
Updated NIH RPPR Guide
NIH has released an updated Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) Instruction Guide. One of the main changes is the inclusion of progress reporting requirements for the Data Management and Sharing Plan. NIH recipients subject to the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy must report activities related to their approved Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan in C.5.c. Data Management and Sharing.
For additional information on NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy, see NIH Grants Policy Statement 8.2.3.1 and the NIH Scientific Data Sharing website.
