JIT Other Support and RPPR (progress report) Other Support changes

Now that NH has transitioned to the new standardized progress report format (RPPR) I must point out the Other Support submitted for JIT and RPPRs is no longer identical. In a nutshell: If submitting Other Support for JIT, the current grant is not to be listed. However, Other Support for RPPRs must include the current grant. The supporting documentation is posted below.

JIT instructions

In the Commons, the instructions for the JIT is a link to a sample form with this information on the top: For instructions and information pertaining to the use of and policy for other support, see Other Support in the PHS 398 Part III, Policies, Assurances, Definitions, and Other Information. Page 6 of that document states:

‘Information on active and pending Other Support is required for Key Personnel, excluding consultants. For individuals with no active or pending support, indicate “None.” Neither the application under consideration nor the current PHS award for this project should be listed as Other Support. Do not include Other Support for individuals listed as "Other Significant Contributors" unless their involvement has changed so that they now meet the definition of "key personnel."’

RPPR instructions (Version 7.0 dated January 31, 2014) state:

“D.2.c Changes in other support.

Has there been a change in the active other support of senior/key personnel since the last reporting period?

If yes, upload active other support for senior/key personnel whose support has changed and indicate what the change has been. List the award for which the progress report is being submitted and include the effort that will be devoted in the next reporting period. “
