​​The Just-in-Time (JIT) feature of the eRA Commons allows the electronic submittal of additional grant application information after the completion of the peer review, and prior to funding.

• This feature becomes available for applications that fall within a certain percentile or priority score range; however, applicants should not submit any JIT information until specifically requested by the agency.
