This workshop will be a comprehensive overview of the NSF Fastlane proposal preparation system. Though not a hands-on program, participants will gain knowledge necessary to prepare a proposal with Fastlane. Topics covered in the workshop include: obtaining a login name and password, populating the PI information screen, preparing the NSF forms via Fastlane (Bio Sketch, Budgets, Other Support, etc.) and allowing SRO (DRDA) access.
This workshop will not focus on technical issues regarding Fastlane, reporting functionality, or notifications and requests. Future sessions will be offered regarding these topics.
