October 15, 2018

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) online portal for submitting proposals and managing awards is called FastLane. UF is now among the organizations whose members’ credentials can be used for logging on
to https://research.gov and
https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov.

To log in using GatorLink credentials, click on the pull-down menu and scroll the list of organizations or type “University of Florida,” then click “login.” The first time logging in by organization affiliation will generate another page opening, asking you to enter your last name, nine-digit NSF ID, and NSF password. Completing this step links your GatorLink and NSF credentials, so future logins with GatorLink credentials is all that’s needed.
