Explore xTRACT Before Its Required Use in FY 2020

There is much to
explore on xTRACT, an electronic system for creating research training data
table and tracking trainee outcomes that has been available on a pilot basis in
the eRA Commons since 2015. In the xTRACT system, users can:

access data already available in the eRA Commons to pre-populate their tables with information;retrieve publication information from PubMed;upload selected training-related data from their institutions to the xTRACT system in batches; andcopy data already entered for one application or progress report into another.

Beginning with RPPRs due on or after
October 1, 2019 (FY 2020), recipients must use the xTRACT system to create the
required training tables for submission with NIH and AHRQ T15, T32, T90/R90,
and TL1 progress reports. While it is not mandatory to use xTRACT for new and
renewal applications for the specified types of training grants, it may be
required in future years.

Gain experience with xTRACT before it is
required with helpful resources such as the user guide, instructional videos,
and FAQs, available on the eRA
website. For more details on its required use and implementation, see the
full Guide
Notice.
