Office of Research and Project Administration

Starting Saturday, April 24, 2010, FastLane will begin automated checking of proposals that require postdoctoral mentoring plans. Proposals that do not include the requisite plan will be prevented from being submitted, until the plan has been uploaded as a supplementary document.

As a reminder, the instructions in Chapter II.C.2.j of the Grant Proposal Guide stipulate that each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include, as a supplementary document, a description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such individuals.

As always, should you have any questions pertaining to a NSF FastLane submission, please don't hesitate to contact your ORPA Research Administrator.
