For starters, you'll need an NSF Fastlane account. I made one some while ago, so I won't cover that, and just assume that we're all set up.
- Go to NSF FastLane and click the Sign In to Fastlane button
- You should end up on a page called My Desktop. The first item listed under the NSF FastLane Services heading is Proposal, Awards & Status. Click that link
- What do you want to work on? Why, a Proposal Function, of course!
- To be more specific, you will then want to initiate Proposal Preparation
- If not already populated, you can now edit your PI demographic information
- Alternatively (or if this is all taken care of) you will then click the Prepare Proposal button
- You get a temporary proposal number, and this proposal will be highlighted. You can then edit the details of this proposal.
- Editing the proposal is where you add individual documents: the Cover Sheet, References, Budget, etc.
