Attention NSF Awardees: Please stop submitting project reports on FastLane starting February 1, 2013



From: The Research.gov Team at the National Science Foundation [rgov-bounce@nsf.gov]


As you may know, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is transitioning annual, final, and interim project reporting from FastLane to Research.gov. NSF is committed to continuing to work with the research community and NSF awardees on achieving a smooth transition.


What do I Need to Know Now?

Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-PIs must stop submitting new project reports in FastLane starting on February 1, 2013. On March 18, 2013, NSF will transfer its current project reporting service from FastLane to Research.gov. You should pay particular attention to your reports that are currently in progress and reports previously submitted and returned by your NSF Program Officer.



Project reports that are in progress as well as those reports that are returned by NSF Program Officers should be revised and resubmitted prior to February 1. To assist the research community with this transition, the overdue dates have been extended for all project reports originally scheduled to become overdue between January 31 and April 30, 2013. Starting March 18, 2013, you can use Research.gov to submit project reports.



NOTE: If you are in the Project Report Pilot, this message does not apply to you.

The Office of Sponsored Programs has created and assembled a number of tutorial videos focused on the Cayuse424 system used by our office to create, route, and submit proposals. We are happy to announce that the training videos are up and running on Blackboard. Some users reported that the videos load much quicker and more consistently when using the Google Chrome web browser.  Take a look and let us know what you think, feedback is always appreciated.


Whether you are looking for a refresher on “how to initiate routing and approvals,” or if you need to “download a federal grant opportunity and create a proposal,” you will find a video that can assist you. Of course, if you have problems during regular business hours and need assistance, please remember to contact OSP at 616-331-6826 or grants@gvsu.edu.


The videos are available under “My Organization” entitled “Office of Sponsored Programs Training” then click on "Cayuse videos" on the left tab. OSP has already added all who are currently trained on Cayuse. However, if you are new to Cayuse or if you have never worked with our office before and still want to view the videos, please contact us and someone will add you to the user group.


It is our goal to make the process of seeking external funding a pleasant experience.  Please let us know how we can assist you.
