I have some code I want to run on a list item after any properties (metadata) are saved from the editform window. Where/how can I put JavaScript to run at that time? Thanks!

I figured it out! You need to use dialogReturnValueCallback which executes a function after the EditForm window closes.
Go here for details on answer: SharePoint Modal Help - pass value back to parent when closing
Here is the appropriate code from that link:
//you create the Modal dialog like so...
//Dialog Opening
function OpenDialog() {
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = '/_layouts/mySolution/myPage.aspx';
options.width = 500;
options.height = 400;
options.dialogReturnValueCallback = Function.createDelegate(null, CloseCallback);
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
}
//and then make the return function like this...
// Dialog callback
function CloseCallback(result, target) {
if (result == SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {
// Run OK Code
// To be consistent with the below...
this.dataArray = target.split("^");
var startDate = new Date(this.dataArray[1]);
// Note that I use this.dataArray to allow the object to be accessed throughout the code
}
if (result == SP.UI.DialogResult.cancel) {
// Run Cancel Code
}
}
