[cid:image001.jpg at 01D9A820.41468220]



Dear Colleague:

Effective June 26, 2023, the National Science Foundation (NSF) transitioned the Principal Investigator (PI)/Project Director (PD) or co-PI/co-PD Transfer from one organization to another request functionality ("PI Transfer") from FastLane to Research.gov and decommissioned this request in FastLane. Here's what you need to know:

  *   All PI Transfer requests will now be prepared and submitted in Research.gov.
  *   In-progress PI Transfer requests in FastLane as of June 23, 2023, were moved to Research.gov.
  *   All notifications and requests previously submitted in FastLane are accessible in Research.gov.
  *   Award recipients can access the notifications and requests module in Research.gov via the Notifications & Requests link under Awards & Reporting on the Research.gov homepage (formerly known as the Research.gov "My Desktop" page) after signing into Research.gov.
  *   Please see the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) Chapter VII<https://beta.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/23-1/ch-7-award-administration>, Research.gov About Notifications and Requests<https://www.research.gov/research-web/content/aboutnr> page, and FastLane System Decommissioning<https://www.research.gov/research-web/content/fldecomm> page for additional information.

In response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's memorandum on "Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research<https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/08-2022-OSTP-Public-Access-Memo.pdf>", NASA released an updated draft plan for access to federal funded research: "NASA's Public Access Plan: Increasing Access to the Results of Scientific Research<https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_ocs_public_access_plan_may_2023.pdf>". NASA seeks public input on the updated draft plan through a request for information<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/05/18/2023-10643/request-for-information-nasa-public-access-plan-for-increasing-access-to-the-results-of> that closes on August 17, 2023.
