4. Receiving a Just In Time (JIT)
JIT procedures are used for certain award mechanisms and programs to request information after proposal submittal and automatically sent for an impact score of 40 or less.
The Funding Opportunity Announcement will indicate the use of JITs and specific guidance related to that application.
The PI/PD will be notified, typically by , that JIT information is needed. This request needs to be sent to your OSR or SPO contact.
Upon receipt of the JIT request, the JIT request will be uploaded to the attachments section in RAMSES. As appropriate, OSR/SPO will update the status in RAMSES to JIT Request Received. (For projects that include animal research, OACU will receive notification that the congruency review needs to be initiated once the status is updated.)
JIT Information is subject to the same accuracy and validity requirements as all other submitted information.

5. Just-in-Time (JIT) Request Overview
Certain elements of an application are to be submitted later in the application process, after the review when the application is under consideration for funding.
Score of 40 or less = automatic notification from NIH
JIT hyperlink in eRA Commons action column is added
JIT Request sent to PI and UNC (OSR / SPO)
This JIT Request is NOT a guarantee of funding or intent to fund
Grants Management Specialist (GMS) involvement = funding likely
OSR / SPO will submit your response via eRA Commons or
GMS may request additional and follow up information

6. Central Review Process
Review of other support including confirming effort on project, project period, and annual direct costs.
Confirm IACUC congruency review is completed and approved for the project.
Confirm that IRB has been approved for the project.
Confirm human subjects education certificate is included for all individuals involved in human subjects research on the project.
Confirm all other information that may be requested is correct.

7. Possible Requested Information
Other Support (active, pending, and an overlap statement)
IRB Approval - Date
IACUC Approval - Date
Human Subjects Education
Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC)
Institutional Certification for Human Genomic Data Sharing
SBIR Funding Agreement
STTR Funding Agreement
Other Information Requested by Awarding IC

8. JIT submitted in eRA Commons
Department will prepare the information for the JIT response.
JIT hyperlink used to access JIT input page
Sometimes NIH Grants Management Specialist (GMS) requests additional follow up information via
OSR / SPO will review and will submit the JIT response.
eRA Commons “Signing Official” (SO) role needed to submit JIT
JIT can be requested and submitted multiple times

11. Other Support
Other Support requested at JIT should include Active, Pending grants, and an Overlap statement.

13. Other Support Sufficient levels of effort are committed to the project
There is no scientific, budgetary, or commitment overlap.
Scientific overlap occurs when (1) substantially the same research is proposed in more than one application or is submitted to two or more funding sources for review and funding consideration or (2) a specific research objective and the research design for accomplishing the objective are the same or closely related in two or more application or awards, regardless of the funding sources
Budgetary overlap occurs when duplicate or equivalent budgetary items (e.g., equipment, salaries) are requested in an application but already are provided by another source.
Commitment overlap occurs when an individual’s time commitment exceeds 100 percent (i.e., 12 person months), whether or not salary support is requested in the application.
Overlap, whether scientific, budgetary, or commitment of an individual’s effort greater than 100 percent, is not permitted. Any overlap will be resolved by the IC with the applicant and the PD/PI at the time of award.

14. Human Subjects Education
To generate a certificate for the UNC research team, go to the Human Research Ethics Training Database.
Non-UNC Personnel must provide you with their certificate.
Link to training database can be found at:
=administration.certificates.pgCertSelectTraining

16. Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs):
If the proposed project involves hESCs and the applicant did not identify a hESC line from the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry in the application, the line(s) should be included.

17. Institutional Certification for Human Genomic Data Sharing

18. SBIR Funding Agreement
For SBIR applicants, provide only upon request the SBIR Funding Agreement Certification described in Section of the Supplemental Grant Application Instructions. The certification is available in fillable formats at:
iness_award.htm This should be submitted as an "Other Upload" in the eRA Commons Just-in-Time module.

19. STTR Funding Agreement
For STTR applicants, provide only upon request the STTR Funding Agreement Certification described in Section 2.19 of the Supplemental Grant Application Instructions. The certification is available in fillable formats at: _business_award.htm
This should be submitted as an "Other Upload" in the eRA Commons Just-in-Time module.

20. Other Information Requested by the Awarding IC
NIH IC’s may also request additional Just-in-Time information on a case-by-case basis, such as revised budgets or changes to the human subjects or vertebrate animal sections of the application. These changes should be submitted as an "Other Upload" file in the eRA Commons Just-In-Time module.
What “Other” information have you been asked for ?
