Just in Time

Some items required in the PHS398 are not sent in with the application. Rather, you send them just in time (JIT) when NIAID is ready to issue your award.

Just-in-time (JIT) refers to information that we ask you to send us after your application goes through initial peer review and is being considered for an award. NIH will need this information but does not require you to send it with your application. In fact, if you send "other support" information before we request it, NIH may delay processing of your application or return it without peer review.

Information we request in the just-in-time notice:

• Human subjects assurance
• Certification of IRB approval of research plan
• Certification of human subjects education
• Animal welfare assurance
• Certification of IACUC approval
• Other support information
• Question and Answer
