Progress reports to continue support of a Public Health Service (PHS) grant must be submitted to NIGMS 2 months before the beginning date of the next budget period using PHS 2590 (forms and instructions are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/2590/2590.htm). In addition to the PHS 2590, follow the guidelines suggested below to prepare the progress report. All progress reports must be submitted to the centralized mailing address:
Division of Extramural Activities Support, OER
National Institutes of Health
6705 Rockledge Drive, Room 2207, MSC 7987
Bethesda, MD 20892-7987 (for regular or U.S. Postal Service Express mail)
Bethesda, MD 20817 (for other courier/express mail delivery only)
Tel: 301-594-6584
Submit the completed, signed original progress report and one copy (with required signatures). Note that this is a change in business process. Progress reports should no longer be submitted directly to the NIH awarding component.
Grantees access a Web site hosted by the NIH Office of Policy for Extramural Research Administration, OER, http://era.nih.gov/userreports/pr_due.cfm, to determine which progress reports are due. Grantees are responsible for periodically checking the list, which is updated on/around the 30th of each month. In addition to this Web site, e-mail reminders are sent to the PI. For grantee institutions and PIs registered in the eRA Commons, this information is available in the Commons Status system. Commons-registered institutions and PIs also have access to pre-populated face pages for the 2590 Progress Report via Status. For more information on the Commons, see http://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/index.jsp.
For additional information, review the instructions of PHS Form 2590 at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/2590/2590.htm.
