The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently changed their progress report process. Awards with start dates on or before July 1, 2013 (i.e., due dates on or after May 15th for SNAP awards and May 1, 2013 for Fellowships) will be required to use the eRA Commons Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR). For full details, please see
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-061.html
The NIH also strongly encourages that proposal be submitted well before the submission deadline (days, not hours). It can take a few hours for the application to process through both Grants.gov and eRA Commons. Applicants should be sure to take this processing time into consideration and leave enough time to make any corrected submissions that might be needed to ensure submission of an error-free application by the deadline. For more information, please see
