THE NRDD TEAM WILL PROVIDE REMOTE SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE COVID19 SHUTDOWN

Looking forward to the next round of data collection, we are pleased to announce that the FY21 Import Template is now available. Please note two changes that affect the Owners and the Strategic Plan tabs:
When you are ready to begin collecting data, please email us at nrdd.admin@noaa.gov to request an FY21 template. (It is necessary that all import templates copies are created by the NRDD Admin team to ensure that the dropdown menus remain synced to our master dropdown list).
At this time, the import template is still only able to import new projects. We are working on functionality to make it an import AND export template, and to enable updates to existing projects; however, development of this functionality has been delayed due to NOAA IT security protocols and is unlikely to be available prior to the next data call.
We encourage you to attend our monthly NRDD User Forum leading up to and during the data calls. This is a venue in which NRDD announcements are shared, best practices are developed, and users are able to request system improvements and voice concerns.

Going forward, the Research & Development Enterprise Committee (RDEC) has decided to split NRDD data calls into two separate calls. In the Spring of each year, project plans will be entered. Then, in the Winter of that year, actuals will be entered. We are beginning this new structure starting now, and are asking that you enter your FY20 Actuals by January 31, 2021. The next data call for FY21 Project Plans will be due on May 31, 2021.
On the Project Goals Tab: update Actual Start Date, Actual End Date, Project Status, Deliverables & Milestone Actuals On the Transitions Tab: update Current RL, RL Progress Table On the Resources Table: update Actual FY20 Funds
Please note that at this time, the Import Template cannot be used to update existing projects. All updates must be made directly in the database. Please also note that your projects may not have updates at this time for all of the actuals fields, and that is ok! We only ask that you make any updates that are relevant to your projects at this time.
An email announcement has been sent to all NRDD POCs as identified on the FY20 & FY21 Data Call POC List. Please contact us with any changes to your POCs so that we can ensure they receive this notice.

The FY20 Bulk Upload template is now available. The bulk uploader is a spreadsheet that allows data for multiple projects to be uploaded into NRDD instantaneously in approved status. The newest template version reflects the most recent field requirements and is built in GoogleSheets to allow for collaborative data collection. At this time, the bulk uploader can only be used to create new projects. Please contact nrdd.admin@noaa.gov to request a copy for the upcoming data call.
