This collection under 0925-0002
expiration date 01/31/2026 is being revised to update the
non-competing progress report collections for the implementation of
the final NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing (DMS Policy)
to promote the management and sharing of scientific data generated
from NIH-funded or conducted research and other updates to
institutional training grant and fellowship applications. Starting
in Fiscal Year 2025, NIH will require recipients to submit and
address Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plans within the Research
Performance Progress Report (RPPR) in accordance with the DMS
Policy. The progress report forms will be updated to align with
this requirement. Effective January 2025, NIH will be updating
institutional training grant applications; relevant to progress
reports, the Training Data Tables will be updated to reduce burden
and promote consistent information collection, including limiting
the scope of information collection to data only relevant to the
training stage(s) of the proposed program in Table 1 and removing
instructions in Table 8 that are reported within the RPPR.
Effective for May 2025, NIH will adopt the Common Forms for
Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support as part
of the directive from Guidance for Implementing National Security
Presidential Memorandum (NSPM)-33. The Common Forms are part of a
separate OMB collection, approved under 3145-0279 (Expiration Date
10/31/2026). Elements that will be collected within the Common
Forms will be removed from NIH’s current NIH Biosketch and Other
Support formats. NIH will continue to collect information not
captured on the Common Forms to adhere to the agency’s
implementation of the NIH Peer Review Regulations at 42 CFR Part 52
as part of the NIH Biosketch form, to be renamed the NIH
Biographical Sketch Supplement, to reflect the supplemental
information requested. The application and progress report forms
and associated instructions will be updated to align with these new
requirements.

This revision request includes
an estimated increase of 50,098 burden hours to align with the
changes being implemented to the RPPR and Final RPPR for the
collection of progress report information on the approved DMS Plan
provide a structured, rather than free text, mechanism to report on
information that was already required with the implementation of
the 2023 NIH DMS Policy. The changes to the Training Data Tables
are streamlining and clarifying the field elements and instructions
but are not inherently changing the overall information being
collected. The information collection that will be retained when
the NIH Biographical Sketch Supplement replaces the NIH Biosketch
format are the narrative portions of that instrument that account
for the majority of the burden. The addition of the NIH
Biographical Sketch Supplement does not increase the overall burden
as it will replace the NIH Biosketch Format upon its
implementation. In summary, the overall estimates to burden are not
anticipated to change. The new estimated total annualized burden
hours are 629,088 hours. NIH is engaging in on-going efforts to
evaluate the assessment of burden estimates how to improve
them.
