51 NIH requires that organizations submit an Interim-RPPR while their renewal application (Type 2/Phase II/IIB) is under consideration. o o In the event that the Type 2/Phase II/IIB is funded, NIH will treat the Interim-RPPR as the annual performance report for the final year of the previous competitive segment.

As with the Final-RPPR, recipients are required to report on Project outcomes in the Interim-RPPR.

55 NIH must initiate unilateral closeout as an action of last resort if a recipient does not: o o provide timely, accurate closeout reports; or respond to NIH requests within 270 days after the end date of the period of performance to reconcile discrepancies in grant records Unilateral Closeout emphasizes the need for TIMELY and ACCURATE reporting See NOT-OD for additional information
