Just-in-Time

In some cases, a funding body may request that you provide them with additional information after your application has been peer-reviewed and as it is being considered for funding.

Such requests are particularly common for NIH applications and are called Just-in-Time requests. They allow applicants and signing officials to submit certain elements of a competing grant application at a later date in the application process.

NIH uses Just-in-Time procedures for certain programs and award mechanisms. These procedures allow certain elements of an application to be submitted later in the application process, after review when the application is under consideration for funding. 

The standard application elements include other support information (both active and pending) for senior/key personnel; certification of IRB approval of the project's proposed use of human subjects; verification of IACUC approval of the project's proposed use of live vertebrate animals; and evidence of compliance with the education in the protection of human research participants requirement. Other program-specific information may also be requested using this procedure. 

Applicants will be notified (primarily by e-mail) when Just-in-Time information is needed. 

Just-in-Time vs Notice-of-Award 

The Just-in-time notification is not a Notice of Award nor should it be construed to be an indicator of possible funding. 

Applicants should only submit this information when requested. Information must be submitted electronically using the Just-in-Time feature in the eRA Commons. Failure to address changes to Just-in-Time submissions prior to award does not diminish the applicant's responsibility to address changes post-award by submitting a prior approval request to NIH in accordance with Administrative Requirements-Changes in Project and Budget-NIH Standard Terms of Award.
