What's Currently New In FastLane

Starting March 18, all on-Line FastLane Help will be centralized in the FastLane Help System which you can use to quickly search for the information you need.

Starting March 18, 2006, all on-line help for FastLane users will be located in the new FastLane Help System. This system replaces the FastLane Help Page, and a click on the FastLane Help link on the top of your screen will take you to the FastLane Help System.Previously, FastLane users entered the help system through a link on the FastLane Help Page.

The FastLane Help System has a Search function so you can search the entire system to quickly locate the help topic that you need. You can also find relevant help topics by using the system-wide Table of Contents or by searching for a keyword in the system-wide Index. Within the different FastLane applications, links to help topics go directly to the relevant topic in the FastLane Help System.

The FastLane Help System contains help topics for all of the following:

  • Introduction to FastLane
  • Registration
  • Search for Award Trends and Proposal Deadlines
  • Proposals, Awards, and Status
  • Proposal Review
  • Panelist Functions
  • Research Administration
  • Financial Functions
  • Honorary Awards
  • Postdoctoral Fellowships and Other Programs
  • Technical Help
  • All FastLane FAQs

All other links and help topics on the old FastLane Help Page are fully incorporated into the new FastLane Help System. The new help system contains quick links to the Grant Proposal Guide, the Grant Policy Manual, News and Updates, and to any help on the old FastLane Help Page that takes the user outside the FastLane system.

The purpose of this change is to enable our users to find the specific help they need fast!

The FastLane Help System will be continually updated in step with changes to FastLane applications.
