NSF Fastlane is going away, and UF is supporting the transition to Research.gov for NSF proposal submissions. Join us as we walk through preparing a proposal in Research.gov and gain insight from a UF Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) and departmental perspective on lessons learned. We will also show how to create a bioksetch in SciENcv, and highlight recent NSF updates to biosketches and current and pending forms.

10:00am – 11:30 am
Registration closes Monday, August 18.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Research.gov Proposal Submission System modernizes proposal submission and improves the user experience. The new system has been developed incrementally as capabilities are migrated from FastLane to Research.gov.
NSF offers several Research.gov video tutorials and an FAQs webpage.
Last month the National Science Foundation (NSF) issued guidance on NSF’s implementation of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum (M-20-26), titled, Extension of Administrative Relief for Recipients and Applicants of Federal Financial Assistance Directly Impacted by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Due to Loss of Operations.
NSF remains committed to working with the Administration, other federal agencies, and the research community to effectively respond to the COVID-19 national emergency. In order to support charges against NSF awards, recipients are reminded of their responsibility to maintain appropriate records and documentation to support the charges in accordance with institutional policies and procedures.
FAQs relating to NSF’s implementation of OMB Memorandum M-20-26 for NSF proposers and awardees and for NSF major facility cooperative agreement recipients are available on NSF’s website.
Starting on October 1, 2020, applicants will see a new layout of Page One of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Notice of Award (NoA). This new layout is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Reinvent Grants Management initiative to standardize the NoA across various HHS systems and reduce the burden on applicants.
More than a year ago, when the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) began to think about the Standards for Excellence in Education Research (SEER), no one imagined SEER would define characteristics of how IES structures so much of its work. Most of the SEER principles just seemed like good science and essential for good policy.
Over the coming weeks, the IES Director Mark Schneider plans a series of blogs starting with four components of SEER—with coverage of the other SEER domains likely. The first four are as follows:
No matter what screen you are on in Grants.gov, you can click the help icon which opens a new window with relevant articles. New applicants will want to bookmark several help-related resources for quick and easy access such as the following:
Training Videos
The Grants.gov YouTube Channel
Learn Grants
The Grants.gov Learn Grants section presents new applicants with a high-level overview of the Federal Grants world.
