The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is requiring the use of the new developed Department of Commerce RPPR (Form RPPR, OMB Number 0690-0032) for research award performance reports. The RPPR must be used for all FY2019 research awards and awards in succeeding fiscal years. In addition, awards with a start date prior to 10/01/2018 will include a special award condition requiring the use of the RPPR. More information can be found in the attached memo.
