Does IRB or IACUC approval have to be complete by the time of review or submission of the RC1?
NIH specifically states that “just-in-time” procedures are in place for this RFA. This means that you update your IRB/IACUC when NIH requests that information, which typically occurs when an application is moved to a funding list for potential funding. The NIH request for “just-in-time” information does not necessarily mean an application will be funded; it simply means the application is on a list for potential funding if funds are available and the application meets programmatic needs.
