It provides a single interface for agencies to announce their grant opportunities and for all grant applicants to find and apply for those opportunities. FastLane is the electronic proposal submission system for the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is the online website through which NSF conducts their relationship to researchers and potential researchers, reviewers, and research administrators and their organizations.
