Re: FastLane Quirk--Missing Pages??? Nancy Myers Sims 20 Feb 2009 17:47 EST

I had the same problem with the cover page showing a different amount than
the cumulative budget page on 2 grants a couple of weeks ago.  I spoke with
2 different techs at FASTLANE, both of whom told me they had no idea how
that happened and suggested we submit an UPDATE since we had already
submitted the applications before I noticed the problem.   I contacted the
Program Officer on one of the applications, and he said he would contact
FASTLANE because he felt it had to be a problem with the "bridging" of the
budget and cover pages with FASTLANE.  Sorry to hear you had the problem,
but glad I wasn't the only one having that problem.  Needless to say, I've
started checking those totals out on all apps before we submit.

Cynthia,

I had the same budget problem happen today. The only way I was able to get
the cover page to recognize the budget total was to go to the budget pages
and in each one hit "calculate and save".  Then the cover page recognized
the cumulative budget total.

An additional quirk on one of our proposals involved the budget total shown
on the cover page.  The cumulative budget total in the budget section
normally feeds this block on the cover page, but on ours, the cumulative
budget total calculated correctly but the cover page total was about $4k
less. We notified the help desk and are currently waiting for a call back
from their tech folks.
You may wish to check your budget page vs. your cover page.

Subject: [RESADM-L] FastLane Quirk--Missing Pages???

For those of you who were attempting to meet the NSF deadline yesterday and
had difficulty submitting, we've just seen another FastLane quirk.  We were
able to submit at 5:03 pm yesterday (before receiving the announcement that
we had a 24 hour extension).  Today, we checked the copy of the proposal
that we printed right after submission and discovered that several pages
were missing from the Supp Docs section (first 9 pages out of 20).  We
immediately pulled up the submitted proposal in FastLane and could not see
those nine pages.  We knew, however, that they were included in the uploaded
document.  On a second attempt to check the submitted proposal, the pages
appeared.  This happened to three of us who were all looking at the proposal
at about the same time on three different computers and at two different
institutions.  I plan to continue to call up the proposal later today and
again tomorrow several times to make sure all the pages are still visible.
Just wanted to let!
 you all know our experience in case you want to double check your
submitted document, too.
