In alignment with HHS, NIH is implementing this change to allow recipients to report/certify expenditure data once through a single entry point and eliminate the need to report duplicative information across multiple reporting sources.

Beginning January 1, 2021, respective to NIH awards that require submission of an FFR, NIH recipients will be required to submit the FFR in the Payment Management System (PMS).  FFRs submitted prior to January 1, 2021, must use the FFR module in the eRA Commons based on the previous requirements set forth by the agency (see NIH Grants Policy Statement 8.4.1.5.2). FFRs submitted on or after January 1, 2021 must use PMS.

Training sessions offered by PMS for recipients will be posted at this link as they become available: https://pms.psc.gov/training/gr-ffr-training.html

Please refer to the guide notice linked above for more details.
