Welcome to the FastLane Graduate Research Fellowship process for preparing and submitting a Reference Report.

The GRFP Reference Report process is currently unavailable. It will be available for the 2005 Competition in August 2004.

Please choose the correct link from the bulleted choices below and proceed as indicated to complete your Reference Report.

• Beginning the Reference Report submission process:

  If you are beginning a Reference Report, there are three steps which are required: 1) Preparing the Reference Report Form, 2) Uploading the Reference Comment File, and 3) Submitting the combined Reference Report Form and Reference Comment File. Begin the process by clicking the 'Begin New Reference Report' link:

Helpful Hint: Use the "Tab" key to move forward from one entry field to the next. Use the Scroll Bar on the right to move down the page.

You will be asked to enter the Applicant Reference Code, your name, a Password of your own choice and your e-mail address. If you are a reference for more than one applicant, you may use the same Password for each Reference Report. Remember the Reference Code and your Password because you will need them to revise or submit your Reference Report.

Once you have begun preparation of the Reference Report, you will be able to save it as a "draft" for later completion, or you can complete and submit it to NSF. After you have submitted the Reference Report or saved it as a "draft", you will be able to view/print it by clicking on 'View Submitted Reference Report'. If you need to revise the Reference Report after submitting it, you may do so by sending a revised report to GRF Operations Center, c/o ASEE, 1818 N Street, N.W. Suite 600, Washington, DC 20036.
