How
to Prepare Your Proposal
All proposals must be submitted using Fastlane. For
more information, please see the latest version of the Grant
Proposal Guide, which contain the requirements for
proposal preparation. The Guide to Getting
Started on FastLane provides additional guidance on preparing
your proposal for electronic submission. Printed copies of the
Grant Proposal Guide, and other NSF publications can be obtained
from the NSF Publications: telephone: (703) 292-7827, email: pubs@nsf.gov.
NSF requires the use of electronic signatures on proposals. This
eliminates the requirement for organizations to submit a paper
signed Proposal Cover Sheet.
A list of other types of proposals is available on the Other
Types of Proposals page.
The Policy Office, in the Division
of Institution and Award Support, provides general policy
guidance for proposers. The Policy Office page includes NSF regulations,
other Federal regulations, notices of important policies and
other information for proposers and awardees.
The NSF conducts outreach on proposal preparation and award adminstration,
through Regional
Grant Conferences, and FastLane
outreach activities.
