Just In Time

Just In Time (JIT) Overview

"JIT" is an acronym for Just-In-Time, and refers to the application timeframe requiring applicants to send information to the NIH only if an award is likely. This process decreases the administrative burden for the 75%-80% of the applications that will not receive funding and provides NIH with the most current information "just in time" for award. When JIT is posted in the "Action" column of your NIH eRA Commons account, it signifies that your application has completed the peer review process and has received a rank for which funding may be possible.

JIT information includes:

  • Updated Other Support Report for all Key Personnel (do not include for Other Significant Contributors)
  • NIH PHS 398 2006 Other Support Form
  • Address any budgetary or scientific overlap concerns
  • Signed MOU for all investigators with VA eights
  • IACUC Certification Form signed by institutional official
  • IRB Approval Certification Form
  • Certification of Human Subjects Education for all key personnel with human subjects involvement

These forms and more available in JIT Forms & Tools.
