VA-ORD is transitioning to eRA Commons for Just-in-Time (JIT) starting January 2022. Any application for which JIT has been initiated in the VA JIT Document Manager will complete JIT using that system. Awards that have compliance document requirements later in the project period (i.e., phased awards), will have terms and conditions, or milestones added to the eRA notice of award. Documentation for later phases can be uploaded through eRA Commons to the Grant Folder which also holds the documentation submitted through the JIT system.
Following an intent to award notification from eRA, VA-ORD will indicate the applicable JIT areas for the application in the eRA Commons JIT module. When JIT is released, a notification will then be sent to the applicant, who will be able to upload the necessary information in eRA Commons as a PDF. Individuals with the Signing Official (SO) role can also upload documents and are the only individuals who can submit documents to VA-ORD on behalf of the research office and the applicant.
All JIT documents must be submitted within 180 days of the initial notification. The system will document all steps in the JIT review process and notify the applicant and SO by e-mail whenever there is a change in JIT area status or whenever the overall application status has changed. Reminder emails will be sent to the applicants at 90 days and 150 days after the initial notification.
Please contact the funding service with any JIT related questions:
