[Flex] new items in Fastlane - shall we meet after the rush?

[Sheila Clifford]

Dear All -

We are just finding out that NSF has added a new layer of 
preventions/warning messages that appear when you submit a proposal.  
Primarily, you will most likely encounter this as a collaborator - OR - 
/your collaborator/ may encounter it.  The key item (I think) is that 
one cannot *submit* a proposal until a Mentoring Plan and a Data 
Management Plan have been submitted.  It says that other items will 
cause the proposal to be returned without review, but that is ok because 
the lead will put those items in before submitting their proposal (and 
you can still submit a linked collaborative prop).

I am attaching an error message that I received yesterday, when I, as a 
subcontractor, was prevented from submitting a linked proposal.  I 
couldn't submit until the lead had put something in the Mentoring Plan 
area.

We should meet after the crunch.  I've set up a Doodle Poll to find the 
best day.  I chose Mon, Wed, or Thur of the week following the crunch.

Cheers (and good luck submitting!),
Sheila
