Congratulations, you’ve received a Just-In-Time request or the sponsor has let you know they’ll be funding your project. It’s time to partner with SPRA to get your award set up and get your project underway. Below you'll find information to help you navigate the Just-In-Time process as well as get your funded project up and running.
The Just-In-Time (JIT) process allows NIH to collect time-sensitive information that was not submitted with a competing application. Grantor agencies request this information after peer review. This is an indication that the agency is considering funding an application and should not be taken as a guarantee that a grant will be awarded. Keep in mind that once the impact score has been released the eRA Commons Status screen will automatically show a Just-in-Time link and NIH sends automated emails to any application with an impact score of 30 or less. Neither of these require action and applicants should not submit any information until a specific request is received.
Other Support (also referred to as Current and Pending Support) includes all resources made available to Senior/Key Personnel that support or relate to their research activities, regardless of whether the resources are monetary or non-monetary, domestic or foreign, or located at the applicant institution. NIH requires complete and accurate disclosure of Other Support to ensure transparency, prevent overlap, and verify appropriate commitment of effort.
Under current NIH guidance, investigators must disclose:
Active (current) support — funded projects that are ongoing
For submissions due on or after January 25, 2026, NIH requires the use of the Current and Pending (Other) Support Common Form, completed and certified through SciENcv.
The Common Form replaces legacy NIH Other Support formats for most submissions
Must be used for applications, JIT, RPPRs, and other submissions as required
A transition (leniency) period allows limited continued use of legacy formats through May 2026, but use of the Common Form is strongly encouraged
Before submitting Other Support, confirm the following:
All active projects are listed with accurate details
All pending proposals/applications are included
All foreign and domestic appointments or affiliations are disclosed
All in-kind contributions (equipment, materials, data, personnel) are reported
Effort commitments are clearly stated and reasonable
Information is consistent with your biosketch and institutional records
The NIH Current and Pending (Other) Support Common Form is completed (via SciENcv, when required)
The document has been reviewed for completeness and accuracy
Institutional review and certification requirements have been completed

Network access for non-employed research staff can be requested here. Once the non-employed staff member has completed their assignment, network access should be terminated by filling out this form.
**Procedure for onboarding non-employed research staff (e.g. badge access, occupational health screening, etc.) is coming soon.**
An Employee Action Form (EAF) must be completed for any personnel who are charging salary to an active grant or contract. EAFs should be submitted to your post-award point of contact.
EAFs also need to be completed if the level of effort changes, an employee is no longer putting in effort on a project, or an employee leaves the organization.
The purpose of the CNE Sanction & Exclusion Screening for Excluded Individuals and Entities Policy (Policy Number CNE-CC-001) “is to ensure compliance with State statutes and the federal Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §1128 which require healthcare providers to perform sanction screenings prior to the hire of employees and independent contractors or the engagement of individuals or entities supplying goods or services.”
Sanction screening must be done on all research vendors, collaborators (not employed at CNE), consultants, contractors, CROs, sponsors, or institutions prior to engaging in contract discussion.
Research participants are considered patients for the purposes of sanction screening and do NOT need to be screened.
More information can be found here.
As the prime site, CNE is responsible for monitoring its sub-recipients to ensure compliance with sponsor requirements, and where applicable, OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) (“Uniform Guidance”), specifically §200.332.
Sub-award monitoring is carried out jointly by the Principal Investigator and SPRA according to the institution’s roles and responsibilities.
Whatever rate is effective at the start of the award period is effective for the entirety of the project.
