March 18, 2013, the NSF will enhance the FastLane System to begin automated compliance
\nchecking for all required sections of full proposals. This will bring NSF systems in line with long\u2010standing proposal preparation requirements as outlined in the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (Chapter II.C.2 of the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG)). Preliminary proposals are not affected by this system enhancement.
\nThe GPG\u2010required sections of a proposal include:<\/p>\n

\nFastLane will check to ensure whether or not a document is included; it will not check formatting, page
\nlength, or content requirements. (The one exception is the Project Summary, for which page length is
\nchecked.)
\nProposal submission instructions for conferences, symposia or workshops; international travel grants; or program solicitations may deviate from the GPG instructions. If the submission instructions do not
\nrequire one of the above sections to be provided, proposers will need to insert text or upload a
\ndocument in that section of the proposal that states, \u201cNot Applicable.\u201d Doing so will enable FastLane to accept the proposal.
\nAdditionally, proposers providing Biographical Sketches and\/or Current and Pending Support
\ninformation for Principal Investigators (PIs), co\u2010PI(s) or Senior Personnel in a single PDF file associated with the PI, must insert text or upload a document in that section of the proposal that states, \u201cNot Applicable,\u201d for any co\u2010PI or Senior Personnel so that FastLane will accept the proposal.
\nPIs will receive a warning message if any of the GPG\u2010required sections is missing, however, the PI will
\nstill be able to forward the proposal to the organization\u2019s Sponsored Project Office (SPO). If the SPO
\nattempts to submit a proposal that is missing any of the required sections, they will receive an error
\nmessage identifying the missing section(s), and FastLane will prevent submission to NSF. After obtaining all required sections, the SPO may submit the proposal to NSF in accordance with established deadline date policy.
\nProposals submitted through Grants.gov must include all GPG\u2010required sections or include a document stating that the section is \u201cNot Applicable.\u201d
