Attention NSF Fastlane Users – Important Account Information
NSF has been working to migrate many of the functionalities of Fastlane to Research.gov. As part of this transition, NSF has implemented a new account management system requiring existing Fastlane users to log into Fastlane/Research.gov to migrate their current account to the new system.

Note of Caution: If you do not migrate to the new account management system, NSF/Research.gov will deny access to your account and you will not be able to initiate or prepare a proposal.

If you have created an account or submitted a proposal to NSF in the last six months, you have likely completed this critical step. To avoid any delays, please log into your account and verify.

Please contact ospa@siu.edu if you need assistance.
