Since the last OMB approval, NIH has
worked on enhancing the reporting requirements on new policies
through the RPPR, which are necessary to continue enhancing the
quality of basic and preclinical research, as well as NIH-funded
clinical trials. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other
Public Health Service (PHS) grantees are required to submit interim
and final progress reports and other post-award documents
associated with the monitoring, oversight, and closeout of an
award. This 0925-0002 revision submission represents a collection
of post-award reporting requirements previously collected under
0925-0002. Pre-award reporting requirements are simultaneously
consolidated under 0925–0001 (expiration March 31, 2020 ) and the
changes to the collection here are related. These updates fully
implement the final and interim RPPR, and make updates to align
with system enhancements and changes to key policies, including the
requirement to submit SBIR/STTR Life Cycle Certification
forms.

In the burden table the
frequency for Publication Reporting was being calculated as 1
instead of 3 in previous submissions, as well as in the current
submission. A decrease of 2,000 burden hours is due to the Final
Progress Report no longer being accepted. Overall, the burden hour
estimates for other PHS forms did not change.
