A program officer in your area of science can give you application advice, NIAID's perspective on your research, and confirmation that NIAID will accept your application.
After you submit JIT information, your program officer will review it. He or she will document approval or discuss outstanding items with you and your grants management specialist. As a result, our staff may send additional emails asking you for more information or corrections.
Each time, follow the same workflow and routing instructions as before to provide new information.
