How Are Training Tables Populated?

This help section contains information to assist with understanding how the fields in each of the Training Tables are populated from the input entered into the various Research Training Dataset (RTD) screens in the xTRACT module of Commons. An RTD is part of the reporting requirements of a grant.

xTRACT has various data input screens for trainee data. When you input the required data, xTRACT populates a required form in PDF format behind the scenes.

To see a sample of a completed RTD in PDF format:

1. Go to the Data Tables page on grants.nih.gov (https://grants.nih.gov/grants-process/write-application/forms-directory/data-tables)

2. Select the latest Forms set.

3. Scroll down and click the PDF link in the Instructions and Sample Data Tables Files column

This is the final product of the data that you enter into a subset of xTRACT screens.

This section of the help correlates the data that is entered in xTRACT to where that same data ends up on the RTD PDF.
