grant-admin-arch: Grant-Admin-News: NSF FastLane Training before October 1 Deadlines

[Research Services <Research_Services@orsa.uoregon.edu>]

If you are planning to submit a grant proposal to the National Science
Foundation for the October 1 or later deadlines, you need to be a registered
FastLane user.  Starting October 1, 2000, **ALL** proposals to the National
Science Foundation must be submitted through the web-based NSF FastLane
system.  In addition, all other actions must be processed in FastLane
(e.g.,grantee-approved no-cost extensions, requests for NSF approval on
second extensions or PI leaves, annual and final reporting, etc.).  More
information on FastLane is available on ORSA's web site under "Features--NSF
Fastlane and the UO" at http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~orsp/orsa.html.

ORSA is offering several workshops over the next few weeks on using
FastLane.  Topics include how to prepare and submit proposals,  how to
convert files to PDF and transfer them into FastLane, where to find Adobe
Acrobat at a reasonable cost, and an overview of the other modules available
in the system. We strongly encourage all faculty PIs and department grant
administrators who currently have or plan to request NSF grants to attend a
FastLane workshop.

The next workshops are scheduled for Wednesday, September 13, 1:30-3:30 pm,
and Tuesday, September 19, 1:30-3:30 pm, in the UO
Employee Training Facility computer lab, Suite 302 University Center
Building, 720 E 13th Ave. (across from Sacred Heart Hospital on 13th).  This
is a hands-on training session with ample time for questions (and it's
free!).  

Call ORSA at 6-5131 (or send an e-mail to
Research_Services@orsa.uoregon.edu) to sign up for one of these classes.
