Details 

To meet the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) regulatory guidelines effective on January 25, 2022, the Research Enterprise (RE) Data Mart team, in partnership with Department Administrators, has updated the NIH Other Support Report (in support of PHS 398/2590).  

In accordance with the NIH updated requirements for principal investigators, the new version of the Other Support Report will include content and format changes for project and proposal information and will be available as a Word template to accommodate manual updates of required information that is not available via a central source system.

Additionally, the Third-Party Agreements Library, a SharePoint-based solution, has been developed to meet the new requirement to provide supporting documentation on third-party agreements, including foreign contracts.   

The Other Support Report and the Third-Party Agreements Library are both in the User Acceptance Testing phase of the project, and the solution for the NIH required electronic signature is under review.
