Need and Use of Information
Collection: The RPPR is now required to
be used by all NIH, Food and Drug
Administration, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, and Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) grantees. Interim progress
reports are required to continue support
of a PHS grant for each budget year
within a competitive segment. The
phased transition to the RPPR required
the maintenance of dual reporting
processes for a period of time.

grantees and Federal agencies to meet
statutory requirements for reporting
inventions and patents. The PHS 3734

relinquishment of a PHS award when an
award is transferred from one grantee
institution to another. Pre-award
