Thanks Karen -<br>
<br>
I agree completely. Perhaps the Fastlane person meant that you must
<i>access</i> proposal prep (and anything else) through Research.gov
-- because we are certainly being dumped right back into Fastlane to
prepare any type of proposal.... Sorry for adding to the confusion.<br>
<br>
Another thing - I went in to Research.gov and verified all my PIs.
For a few, the system said the password needed updating. I did this
- but didn't realize that the PI got an email from the NSF system
saying their password had changed. Some contacted Donna asking what
was up. Fortunately, I had told her I did this...<br>
<br>
If people verify/update their PIs in Fastlane, they might want to
consider contacting the people whose passwords get changed.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Sheila<br>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm not sure how reliable the Fastlane help desk is these days
- I recently got some information that turned out to be wrong.
They may also have given Donna the wrong information about the
timing for use of research.gov for all but collaborative
proposals starting March 26.<br>
</p>
<p>Just wanted to pass along my research.gov login experience
today --<br>
</p>
<p>I know that I have an NSF proposal coming up, so went to
research.gov this morning to log in and complete the PI
information verification - that went fine. I went to Prepare
& Submit Proposals and received the notice below. There
seems to be conflicting information out there about the timing
of the migration to the new system. Looks like we are still in
the system preview phase according to this, and that we don't
submit our proposals through research.gov yet.<br>
</p>
<p>If it is accurate, the attached timeline might be useful too.</p>
<p>I never expected this confusion from the same folks that
brought us fastlane!<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear All -
Donna had a discussion with the Fastlane Helpdesk this morning, and it
seems that - as of today - we MUST now use Research.gov for NSF
submissions UNLESS they are collaborative proposals. And - as of this
morning - it is taking up to 30min for Research.gov to dump you back to
Fastlane to work on a collaborative.
Neither Donna nor I had received, or seen, a notice of this abrupt
change - sorry!
Best Regards,
Sheila
