                Colleagues, <br>
                <br>
                The National Science Foundation (NSF) is happy to
                announce that project reporting has successfully been
                transitioned to Research.gov. This means that you will
                now log in to Research.gov to prepare and submit your
                final, annual, and interim project reports. You will
                also continue to use Research.gov to submit your Project
                Outcomes Reports.<br>
                <br>
                NSF would like to thank the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&amp;_pageLabel=research_node_display&amp;_nodePath=/researchGov/Generic/Desktop/ProjectReportingPilotOrganizations.html">19
                  research organizations</a> who volunteered to pilot
                this service starting in October 2012. Because of their
                feedback, we were able to improve the service before the
                final rollout.<br>
                Research.gov is NSF's grants management system that
                provides easy access to research-related information and
                grants management services in one location. Research.gov
                is the modernization of FastLane, providing the next
                generation of grants management capabilities for the
                research community.<br>
