NSF Applicants: Changes are coming to how you start a proposal in FastLane

Currently, FastLane allows you to start a new proposal by copying from a previously submitted proposal or by using a previously created template.

Starting Friday August 2, applicants will only be able to copy proposals submitted under the current version (January 14, 2013 edition) of NSF’s Grant Proposal Guide (GPG).  http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf13001/gpgprint.pdf

Additionally, you will no longer be able to create and save templates in FastLane.

However, the standard process for creating a new proposal remains unchanged.

If you have any questions about these changes please contact Jessica Harrison, Associate Manager of Sponsored Programs, at jharriso@odu.edu or 757-683-4293 x610.
