OSRA has issued a revision to its Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Submitting a Progress Report for OSRA Review. The policy has been updated to align with our current systems/processes and to outline expectations depending on sponsor type and submission mechanisms for active grant awards.

The SOP outlines the responsibilities of PIs and their Departmental Staff when submitting documents for internal review. While progress reporting requirements can vary depending on sponsor and grant type, this document standardizes the process by which all progress reports that require signature and/or submission by an authorized official, be prepared and submitted to OSRA. 

Other highlights include review and submission timelines; non-NIH progress reports; and interim NIH RPPRs.

The updated policy is available here and has been published on the OSRA website, under Policies & Procedures.

Department staff assigned to assist PIs with progress reports must review and familiarize themselves with this policy.
