Do you HAVE TO use grants.gov?  Most NSF programs offer the option of
g.g OR FastLane.  Given the choice, I'd go for the latter!

Subject: [RESADM-L] NSF Grants.gov submissions

We have only done a small number of these & none has gone smoothly.  We
are wondering if anyone with more experience knows whether or not a
proposal submitted via Grants.gov to NSF will generate error messages
for missing pieces, similar to the error messages that FastLane
generates in such cases (and similar to NIH's G.g submission process)?

We had a proposal simply disappear between Grants.gov & FastLane (that
is, we submitted it via G.g but it never showed up in FastLane
apparently), and we are wondering if there should have been some
feedback message to us.

Thanks for the help, as always.
