National Science Foundation (NSF) Submissions

Applying for an National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant? Considering submitting via the Research.gov portal! Research.gov is the NSF’s grants management system that provides easy access to research-related information and grants management services in one location. Research.gov is the modernization of FastLane, providing the next generation of grants management capabilities for the research community. NSF proposals may also continue to be submitted via Grants.gov, but will be validated in Research.gov and any necessary corrections will need to be submitted via Research.gov. Resulting awards will also be administered via Research.gov. The Research.gov Proposal Submission System modernizes proposal preparation and submission capabilities by improving the user experience while also reducing administrative burden through an intuitive interface and expanded automated proposal compliance checking, which will eliminate the need to navigate two different systems. Your SPO Point of Contact for Grant Submissions, Susan De Los Santos (SDeLosSantos@salud.unm.edu ) or Jessica Stanton (JKStantons@salud.unm.edu), will be pleased to assist with your next NSF proposal.
