sponsor, and the respondent is not
required to respond to, an information
collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the NIH
has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for review and approval of the
information collection listed below.
Proposed Collection: Public Health
Service (PHS) Post-award Reporting
Requirements Revision, OMB 0925–
0002, Expiration Date 3/31/2020, Office
of the Director (OD), National Institutes
of Health (NIH). This collection
represents eliminating the Final
Progress Report form as the form has
been incorporated into the Final RPPR.
Competing applications in the future
may be updated to reflect related
Human Fetal Tissue (HFT) information.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The RPPR is required to be
used by all NIH, Food and Drug
Administration, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) grantees. Interim progress
reports are required to continue support
of a PHS grant for each budget year

within a competitive segment. The
phased transition to the RPPR required
the maintenance of dual reporting
processes for a period of time.
Continued use of the PHS Noncompeting Continuation Progress Report
(PHS 2590), exists for a small group of
grantees. This collection also includes
other PHS post-award reporting
requirements: PHS 416–7 NRSA
Termination Notice, PHS 2271
Statement of Appointment, 6031–1
NRSA Annual Payback Activities
Certification, HHS 568 Final Invention
Statement and Certification, iEdison,
and PHS 3734 Statement Relinquishing
Interests and Rights in a PHS Research
Grant. The PHS 416–7, 2271, and 6031–
1 are used by NRSA recipients to
activate, terminate, and provide for
payback of a NRSA. Closeout of an
award requires a Final Invention
Statement (HHS 568) and Final Progress
Report. iEdison allows grantees and
Federal agencies to meet statutory
requirements for reporting inventions
and patents. The PHS 3734 serves as the
official record of grantee relinquishment
of a PHS award when an award is
transferred from one grantee institution
to another. Pre-award reporting
requirements are simultaneously
consolidated under 0925–0001 and the

changes to the collection here are
related. Clinical trials are complex and
challenging research activities.
Oversight systems and tools are critical
for NIH to ensure participant safety,
data integrity, and accountability of the
use of public funds. NIH has been
engaged in a multi-year effort to
examine how clinical trials are
supported and the level of oversight
needed. The collection of more
structured information in the PHS
applications and pre-award reporting
requirements as well as continued
monitoring and update during the postaward reporting requirements will
facilitate NIH’s oversight of clinical
trials. In addition, some of the data
reported in the RPPR will ultimately be
accessible to investigators to update
certain sections of forms when
registering or reporting their trials with
ClinicalTrials.gov.
Frequency of response: Applicants
may submit applications for published
receipt dates. For NRSA awards,
fellowships are activated, and trainees
appointed.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
517,408.
