<p class="MsoNormal">We would greatly appreciate your sharing this information with your membership as rapidly and as widely as possible.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks much<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are very pleased to announce that as of June 24, 2019, the research community can prepare and submit full, research collaborative proposals with subawards in Research.gov. This is in addition to the existing capability (since April 2018)
to prepare and submit full, research non-collaborative proposals in Research.gov. Since that initial release just over a year ago, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has implemented several enhancements to the site, including additional flexibilities for
PDF uploads, support for PDFs generated from LaTeX source documents, and compliance checks for fonts and font sizes. Future enhancements to the Research.gov proposal system will allow the preparation and submission of separately submitted collaborative proposals
from multiple organizations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Compared to FastLane, our grants management system launched in 1994, the Research.gov proposal system is much easier to use and provides proposers with faster document uploads and the ability to quickly create and update documents. We encourage
you to try the new system, and we are confident that you will agree that this next generation grants management system is more efficient and less burdensome than FastLane.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, as of June 24, 2019, a new email notification functionality was implemented to generate Sponsored Project Office (SPO)/Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) email notifications when Principal Investigators (PIs) enable proposal
access to SPOs/AORs. A similar email notification is available in FastLane, and we are excited to add the capability in Research.gov.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Modernizing Proposal Preparation and Submission<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NSF's modernization of its FastLane system continues with the goal of improving the user experience to prepare and submit NSF proposals, while also reducing administrative burden for both proposers and NSF staff. As capabilities are migrated
from FastLane to Research.gov, the system features will expand until it eventually replaces FastLane for proposal preparation and submission.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While proposers can still prepare and submit collaborative proposals with subawards as well as full, research non-collaborative proposals in FastLane, we encourage the research community to use the new Research.gov proposal system because
as NSF continues to enhance the new system incrementally, your vital feedback is being incorporated during the development process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Preparing and Submitting Proposals in Research.gov <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here's some of the current Research.gov features that proposers are enjoying:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Integrated compliance checks for fonts, margins, and line spacing;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Real-time compliance feedback and alerts, so proposers know a proposal section is compliant before moving on to another section;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Specific checks on the budget screens and for Collaborators and Other Affiliations (COA) uploads;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">A few seconds to upload documents versus 30-90 seconds for each document upload in FastLane; and
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">Embedded relevant sections of the
<i>Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide</i> (PAPPG) and video job aids, so proposers don't have to go to multiple sites to access guidance and tools.
<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Initiating a Proposal in Research.gov<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By answering a few questions in the five-step proposal wizard, Research.gov customizes the set-up process and compliance rules for the proposal being created. In addition, the proposal wizard dynamically drives the proposal sections that
are required on subsequent screens. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have not done so already, we invite you to initiate a proposal in Research.gov by following the steps outlined below:
