Individuals submitting ADVANCE Fellows proposals as independent PIs must first
register as a FastLane organization via NSF's FastLane
system.
To access this system, go to the NSF Home Page http://www.nsf.gov/
Click on FastLane (at the left side of screen), and the FastLane
Home Page will appear.
At the FastLane Home Page, click on Registration Information.
At the Registration Information screen, click on New Organization
and FastLane Contact Registration.
At the New Organization and FastLane Contact Registration screen,
type your name into the Organization Name: box and click on Organization
Search. A "New Organization Registration Request" screen
will appear. It contains the "New Organization Registration
Form".
Just above the "New Organization Registration Form" (on
the left) is a box marked New Individual Registration. Click on
this box and the "New Individual Registration Request"
screen will appear.
Complete all required fields (identified by an asterisk) on the
"New Individual Registration Form" and click on the Submit
box near the bottom of the page. You will be asked to print out
your completed form and to sign it. You can either mail it to NSF
at the address they will provide, or FAX it to the number they will
provide. NSF will respond to you by e-mail with an organization
ID number for you to use in preparing your proposal in FastLane.
When you have received your organization ID number and are ready
to begin preparing your proposal in FastLane, return to the FastLane
Home Page (top, left side) and click on Proposals, Awards &
Status. Complete Login information and click on Login. When the
next screen asks "What do you want to work on?", click
on Proposal Functions.
At the Proposal Functions screen, select Proposal Preparation and
you are ready to begin inputting your proposal into FastLane.
Note: If you click on FastLane Help on the FastLane Homepage, you
will find help modules for "proposal preparation" that
cover all aspects of preparation and submission:
- Instructions for Preparing and Submitting a Standard Proposal
- FastLane Proposal Preparation and Submission Guide (2MB PDF
File)
- Grant Proposal Guide
- Proposal Preparation FAQ
It would be helpful to review this information before beginning
Proposal Preparation.
