Once the proposal is successfully submitted and accepted by the sponsor, there is a post-submission period during which the sponsor will perform their administrative review.
Requests from the Sponsor
During this post-submission period the sponsor may contact the university to request additional information/documentation. These requests may include:
revised budgets,
IRB and/or IACUC approvals,
verification of F&A rate agreement,
clarification of other support, or
general inquiries to help the sponsor make a determination whether the project should be awarded.
NIH refers to these requests as Just-In-Time (JIT). Often, the sponsor will require a very short turnaround time to respond to these requests.
