The Research.gov Proposal Submission System modernizes proposal preparation and submission capabilities by improving the user experience while also reducing administrative burden through an intuitive interface and expanded automated proposal compliance checking. NSF is transitioning all preparation and submission functionality for new proposals from FastLane to Research.gov when the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 23-1) is effective on January 30, 2023. Research.gov proposal preparation and submission capabilities have been developed incrementally, and Research.gov can now support all of FastLane's proposal preparation and submission tasks
