Please see the below message from NSF for some important announcements:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is pleased to announce that beginning on April 30, 2018, proposers will be able to prepare and submit full, research non-collaborative proposals in Research.gov. The initial release of this new Research.gov capability will run in parallel with existing FastLane proposal preparation and submission capabilities, so proposers can choose to prepare and submit full, research non-collaborative proposals in Research.gov or in FastLane starting on April 30, 2018.
Research.gov Proposal Preparation Site Preview
The other exciting news that we want to share is that starting today, NSF is previewing the new Research.gov proposal preparation functionality to the research community to collect preliminary feedback and to provide the community an opportunity to acclimate to the new technology. The preview can be accessed by selecting the “Prepare & Submit Proposals” tab on the top navigation bar after signing in to Research.gov and then choosing “Prepare Proposal.” This preview will continue until 8:00PM EDT on April 27, 2018, and will allow any research community user with a FastLane or Research.gov account to sample the following proposal preparation features prior to the initial release on April 30, 2018:
- Initiate full, research non-collaborative proposals (other proposal types are planned for future releases);
- Add Principal Investigators (PIs), Co-PIs, Senior Personnel, and Other Authorized Users;
- Upload required proposal documents;
- Create budgets;
- Check compliance; and
- Enable Sponsored Project Officer (SPO)/Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) access for review.
