Downloadable PDF Fact Sheet (360 KB)
What is the purpose?
The Query/View/Report (QVR) System is a web-based tool to help federal eRA users to search and view detailed information about grant applications and awards. The QVR system integrates information from IMPAC II (database of information on extramural applications and awards), NIH Data Warehouse (database of financial obligations) and NLM's PUBMed (database of indexed journals citations and abstracts).
What are the features of QVR?
QVR is a web-based data retrieval, reporting and analysis system designed for extramural staff at the NIH as well as other HHS/federal agencies using the eRA IMPAC II system. Here are a brief summary of its features:
- Provides a series of preformatted reports for most business areas - Receipt and Referral, Scientific Review, Grants Management, Scientific Programs, Budget, etc.
- Acts as a portal
for viewing a variety of research and research training
applications and awards from IMPAC II, including:
- Current data (last 7 calendar years)
- Historical data (back to 1970)
- FY-end frozen records (called Pub files) (starting in FY 2002)
- NIH Annual Intramural Project reports (from the last closed FY and before)
- Grant-related and PI-related publications in PubMed
- Allows access to broader extramural obligation data from the NIH Data Warehouse for grants, contracts, interagency agreements, taps, etc.
- Provides information on grant awards by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the basis of the name of an individual selected in the QVR system
What are the benefits?
QVR provides integrated access to query, view, and report from multiple systems through a user-friendly interface. The QVR team uses a modern agile-development process that allows the system to respond to the needs of the user community very rapidly. A wide range of self-training tools and tutorials are available to users.
Who can use the QVR system?
The QVR system is available to all staff with IMPAC II user privileges. This includes NIH as well as other agency users. The system contains sensitive data and is protected behind an NIH firewall; therefore users need a VPN or Parachute account to access it away from a government site.
