NSF to unveil new more user-friendly look and feel in FastLane May 10, 2004

NSF is pleased to announce the redesign of its FastLane Homepages. This effort encompasses a rejuvenation of the FastLane design, providing streamlined navigation and new functionality for the FastLane Homepage and login pages already found in the Research Administration, Honorary Awards, and GRFP modules.

On March 29, 2004, the new look and feel will be available on NSF's FastLane Demonstration Site. Users are encouraged to access the Demonstration Site to learn more about the enhancements by accessing URL: www.fldemo.nsf.gov. The new FastLane look and feel for these pages will be available on FastLane's production environment (www.fastlane.nsf.gov) on May 10, 2004

New features include:

• Standardized look and feel and enhanced navigation
• Improved navigation on FastLane Help pages
• Easy to follow Log In instructions on each module Homepage
• "Quick Links" feature providing fast access to frequently used information
• Easy access to the Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing PDF files

NSF would like to thank all of you who participated in the redesign effort and welcomes your feedback as we continue to make enhancements. If you have additional feedback, please contact FastLane Help Desk at 1-800-673-6188 or at fastlane@nsf.gov.
