Note: In response to the recommendations of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director's Working Group on the Biomedical Research Workforce, NIH has developed an electronic system, xTRACT, for creating research training data tables and tracking trainee outcomes. Beginning with RPPRs due on or after October 1, 2019 (FY 2020), recipients must create the required training data tables for submission with NIH and AHRQ T15, T32, T90/R90, and TL1 progress reports via the xTRACT system. See NOT-OD-19-108, xTRACT resources, xTRACT tutorial.
