Subject: [RESADM-L] Grants.gov vs Fastlane

I am giving a talk next week and anticipate being asked the question that
was so common several years ago:
"Why didn't they just use a system like Fastlane?"

I know some of the reasons why Fastlane was not a good model for doing ALL
federal grants.  However, being less familiar with Fastlane than I am with
Grants.gov and NIH Commons, could someone tell me some reasons why
Fastlane is currently better or worse to use than S2S to Gg to NIH
Commons?

thanks

Charlie
