Use Research.gov now for NSF Proposals - FastLane was removed in January 2023

February 1, 2023

Many NSF solicitations will now start requiring the use of Research.gov for the preparation and submission of proposals in response to program descriptions.

Use Grants.gov or Research.gov.

As a reminder, FastLane was removed as a submission option from all funding opportunities with the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) going into effect in January 2023. Grants.gov will remain a submission option for most NSF proposals.

At that time, all new proposals must be prepared and submitted in Research.gov or Grants.gov. FastLane will no longer be a preparation and submission option. The National Science Foundation strongly urges proposers to prepare and submit all eligible proposals in Research.gov now, to support a smooth transition from FastLane proposal preparation and submission to Research.gov in January 2023.
