NSF Proposal Preparation and Submission Site, Research.gov, Launches April 30, 2018

Research.gov is the new National Science Foundation’s (NSF) site providing research information and grants management services, all in one location. Beginning on April 30, 2018, proposers will be able to prepare and submit full, research non-collaborative proposals in the Research.gov system. The initial release of this new Research.gov capability will run in parallel with existing FastLane proposal preparation and submission capabilities. As a result, proposers can choose to prepare and submit full, research non-collaborative proposals in Research.gov or in FastLane starting on April 30, 2018.  Other proposal types will be added to Research.gov in the future. This new system is being developed incrementally and as capabilities are migrated from FastLane to Research.gov, the system features will expand until it eventually replaces FastLane for proposal preparation and submission. A preview site is available until April 27, 2018. Resources including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and a system capabilities release timeline are available on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission page.
