Is your FastLane PI profile complete, up to date, and error-free?
DEBrief, a blog of the Division of Environmental Biology for NSF, posted A reminder to check your FastLane Profiles with step-by-step instructions.
For any demographic analysis or comparison, NSF is reliant on the self-reported characteristics of participants in all phases of proposals and awards. Completion of the profiles is voluntary but critical for linking demographic data to proposal, funding, and review patterns. And, importantly, your profile provides the contact information that we use to reach out to you. So if your email address and institutional information are not up to date you may miss out on funding opportunities or critical notifications that affect your eligibility for funding.
