RESEARCH.GOV PILOT
New reporting module will be for the submission of
annual, final, and interim project reports for all current
NSF awards
• Research.gov will replace Fastlane for project reporting
only
• For proposals, file updates, post-award actions, we will
continue using Fastlane in the mean time
• NSF will adjust report due dates so PIs are in
compliance with the award terms/conditions. (Adjusted
due dates will be posted Dec 3.)
• Until Dec 2, no new reports are to be submitted to NSF.
On Dec 3, reports must be prepared/submitted in
Research.gov
