To use this FastLane procedure, you must contact NSF's Division of Financial Management. When the organization is registered with NSF's Division of Financial Management, the financial office will receive a Password. This is used in association with its reporting station (organization code) to authorize cash advances or reimbursements. The process is very simple and direct. For additional information on Cash Request or FCTR contact your cognizant NSF Accountant in the Institution Ledger Section, Division of Financial Management. Click here ( NSF Contact List ) for the name, phone number and email address of your contact. Upon registration the FastLane contact will choose a Password that will allow him/her to access all FastLane organizational applications, and detailed instructions about how to add and maintain FastLane users and assign/change access passwords and grant user permissions. The Privacy Act generally prohibits government agencies from revealing personal information by any means of communication to any person without the prior written consent of the individual about whom the information pertains (5 U.S.C. 552a). Pursuant to a "routine use" published in the Federal Register, NSF may disclose information maintained in the FastLane system to officials of grantee organization. Organizations, however, should maintain the confidentiality of the information, and not further disseminate it except as needed for proposal and grant administration. Password access is a means of protecting confidentiality of information. Passwords should generally not be created for persons not directly involved in the administration of grants or the submission of proposals. By registering as a FastLane Organization the organization agrees that it will take responsibility for controlling individual access gained through the passwords or any sub-passwords that it assigns to FastLane proposal preparation and Organizational management functions.
