Non-Competing Grant Progress Report: Once a grant is awarded a progress report must be
submitted for each year of the grant award. Electronic submission or reports to start in 2005.

If you are using the NIH eSNAP (electronic Streamlined Non-competing Award Process) to electronically prepare and submit your non-competing (T-5) SNAP report, do NOT use these PHS2590 fillable form pages for any file uploads. Text inserted into the fillable form pages is not saved once the progress report is submitted to NIH. Guidance on eSNAP submission is documented in the eSNAP User Guide found at http://era.nih.gov/commons/index.cfm. Questions on eSNAP submission should be directed to commons@od.nih.gov.
