Downloadable PDF Fact Sheet (309 KB)
What is the purpose?
The Just-in-Time feature of the eRA Commons allows a Signing Official to electronically submit additional grant application information qualifying for Just-In-Time submission, when requested by the grantor agency, after the completion of the peer review of a grant application and prior to funding.
The Just-In-Time feature is available for applications meeting established business criteria. In general this feature becomes available for applications that fall within a certain percentile or priority score ranges. However, applicants should not submit any Just-In-Time information until specifically requested by the agency. These requests can be eRA-system generated e-mails or contacts directly from the specific awarding agency via e-mail and/or phone.
NIH is the only agency that uses the Just-in-Time concept as currently designed in the Commons.
