RPPR Format

FINAL FORMAT
RESEARCH PERFORMANCE PROGRESS REPORT
Background
Effective with publication of this Notice in the Federal Register (Volume 75, Number 8,
Pages 1816-1819), agencies will be able to utilize a new uniform format for reporting
performance progress on Federally-funded research projects. The Research Performance
Progress Report (RPPR) will directly benefit award recipients by making it easier for them to
administer Federal grant and cooperative agreement programs through standardization of the
types of information required in interim performance reports—thereby reducing their
administrative effort and costs. The RPPR will also make it easier to compare the outputs,
outcomes, etc. of research programs across the government.
The RPPR resulted from an initiative of the Research Business Models (RBM) Subcommittee of
the Committee on Science (CoS), a committee of the National Science and Technology Council
(NSTC). One of the RBM Subcommittee’s priority areas is to create greater consistency in the
administration of Federal research awards. Given the increasing complexity of interdisciplinary
and interagency research, it is important for Federal agencies to manage awards in a similar
fashion. Upon implementation, the RPPR will be used by agencies that support research and
research-related activities for use in submission of interim progress reports. It is intended to
replace other interim performance reporting formats currently in use by agencies. The RPPR
does not change the performance reporting requirements specified in 2 CFR Part 215 (OMB
Circular A-110) and the Grants Management Common Rule implementing OMB Circular A-102.
Standard Cover Page Data Elements and Reporting Categories
The standard cover page data elements shown below, as well as mandatory and optional
components comprise the complete research performance progress report format. If an agency
has an electronic reporting system that can identify the award and the recipient, it is not required
to collect the standard institutional information included in the cover page data elements.
Each category in the RPPR is a separate reporting component. Agencies will require award
recipients to report on “Accomplishments”. As needed, agencies may also use optional
components of the format to request additional information. Within a particular component,
agencies should direct recipients to complete only those questions that are relevant to the
award or agency. If a recipient has nothing significant to report during the reporting period on a
question or item, they will be asked to state “Nothing to Report.”
Agencies will utilize the standard instructions that have been developed for each category, but
may provide additional program-specific instructions necessary to clarify a requirement for a
particular program.

RPPR, Page 1

Agencies may develop additional agency- or program-specific reporting components and
instructions (e.g., the National Institutes of Health may need to collect information on clinical
trials in certain types of awards); however, to maintain maximum uniformity, agencies will be
instructed to minimize the degree to which they supplement the standard categories. Such
agency- or program-specific requirements will require review and clearance by OMB.
In some cases agencies may require demographic information about significant contributors. In
such cases, information should be reported directly from significant contributors, rather than the
recipient. Appendix 1 includes standard instructions that agencies will provide for collection of
demographic information from significant contributors. When data is collected from significant
contributors, such collection should be made through a system that assures the data is provided
directly from only the specific individual and not through a third party. Further, agencies will
assure protection of such data following all applicable Federal laws, regulations, and policies
concerning Personal Identifiable Information.
Agencies also may use other OMB-approved reporting formats, such as the Performance
Progress Report (PPR), if those formats are better suited to the agency's reporting
requirements, for example, for research centers/institutes, clinical trials, or fellowship/training
awards or in connection to reporting on program performance. Note: Agencies will be required
to submit, through the Paperwork Reduction Act, revisions to their currently approved interim
performance progress reporting information collections in order to comply with the new uniform
RPPR format.

List the major goals of the project as stated in the approved application or as approved by the
agency. If the application lists milestones/target dates for important activities or phases of the
project, identify these dates and show actual completion dates or the percentage of completion.
Generally, the goals will not change from one reporting period to the next. However, if the
awarding agency approved changes to the goals during the reporting period, list the revised
goals and objectives. Also explain any significant changes in approach or methods from the
agency approved application or plan.
What was accomplished under these goals?
For this reporting period describe: 1) major activities; 2) specific objectives; 3) significant results,
including major findings, developments, or conclusions (both positive and negative); and 4) key
outcomes or other achievements. Include a discussion of stated goals not met. As the project
progresses, the emphasis in reporting in this section should shift from reporting activities to
reporting accomplishments.
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?
If the research is not intended to provide training and professional development opportunities or
there is nothing significant to report during this reporting period, state “Nothing to Report.”
Describe opportunities for training and professional development provided to anyone who
worked on the project or anyone who was involved in the activities supported by the project.
“Training” activities are those in which individuals with advanced professional skills and
experience assist others in attaining greater proficiency. Training activities may include, for
example, courses or one-on-one work with a mentor. “Professional development” activities
result in increased knowledge or skill in one’s area of expertise and may include workshops,
conferences, seminars, study groups, and individual study. Include participation in conferences,
workshops, and seminars not listed under major activities.

OPTIONAL CATEGORIES
PRODUCTS: What has the project produced?
Publications are the characteristic product of research. Agencies evaluate what the publications
demonstrate about the excellence and significance of the research and the efficacy with which
the results are being communicated to colleagues, potential users, and the public, not the
number of publications.
Many projects (though not all) develop significant products other than publications. Agencies
assess and report both publications and other products to Congress, communities of interest,
and the public.
INSTRUCTIONS - Products
List any products resulting from the project during the reporting period. Examples of products
include:






Publications, conference papers, and presentations;
Website(s) or other Internet site(s);

work at each other’s site).
More detail on partner and contribution (foreign or domestic).
Have other collaborators or contacts been involved?
If there is nothing significant to report during this reporting period, state “Nothing to Report.”
Some significant collaborators or contacts within the recipient’s organization may not be
covered by “What people have worked on the project?” Likewise, some significant collaborators
or contacts outside the recipient’s organization may not be covered under “What other
organizations have been involved as partners?” For example, describe any significant:


collaborations with others within the recipient’s organization;
especially interdepartmental or interdisciplinary collaborations;

RPPR, Page 7




collaborations or contact with others outside the organization; and
collaborations or contacts with others outside the United States or with an international
organization.

country(ies) of collaborations or contacts.

It is likely that many recipients will have no other collaborators or contacts to report.
IMPACT: What is the impact of the project? How has it contributed?
Over the years, this base of knowledge, techniques, people, and infrastructure is drawn upon
again and again for application to commercial technology and the economy, to health and
safety, to cost-efficient environmental protection, to the solution of social problems, to numerous
other aspects of the public welfare, and to other fields of endeavor.
The taxpaying public and its representatives deserve a periodic assessment to show them how
the investments they make benefit the nation. Through this reporting format, and especially this
section, recipients provide that assessment and make the case for Federal funding of research
and education.
Agencies use this information to assess how their research programs:




increase the body of knowledge and techniques;
enlarge the pool of people trained to develop that knowledge and techniques or put it to
use; and
improve the physical, institutional, and information resources that enable those people to
get their training and perform their functions.

INSTRUCTIONS - Impact
This component will be used to describe ways in which the work, findings, and specific products
of the project have had an impact during this reporting period. Describe distinctive
contributions, major accomplishments, innovations, successes, or any change in practice or
behavior that has come about as a result of the project relative to:







the development of the principal discipline(s) of the project;
other disciplines;
the development of human resources;
physical, institutional, and information resources that form infrastructure;
technology transfer (include transfer of results to entities in government or industry,
adoption of new practices, or instances where research has led to the initiation of a startup company); or
society beyond science and technology.

What is the impact on the development of the principal discipline(s) of the project?

from the project made an impact or are likely to make an impact on the base of knowledge,
theory, and research and/or pedagogical methods in the principal disciplinary field(s) of the
project. Summarize using language that an intelligent lay audience can understand (Scientific
American style).
How the field or discipline is defined is not as important as covering the impact the work has had
on knowledge and technique. Make the best distinction possible, for example, by using a “field”
or “discipline”, if appropriate, that corresponds with a single academic department (i.e., physics
rather than nuclear physics).
What is the impact on other disciplines?
If there is nothing significant to report during this reporting period, state “Nothing to Report.”
Describe how the findings, results, or techniques that were developed or improved, or other
products from the project made an impact or are likely to make an impact on other disciplines.

everyone else;
Gauge and report performance in promoting partnerships and collaborations;
Assess involvement of international investigators or students in work we support;
Track the evolution of changing science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) fields at different points in the pipeline (e.g., medicine and law demographics
have recently changed dramatically);
Raise investigator and agency staff awareness of the involvement of under-represented
groups in research;
Encourage the development of creative approaches for tapping into the full spectrum of
talent of the STEM workforce;
Respond to external requests for data of this nature from a variety of sources, including
NAS, Congress, etc.; and
