Instructions for Submitting Subawards to NSF

All UConn personnel who plan to submit subaward budgets via FastLane must first be registered FastLane users. If you are not a registered user, please complete OSP's online registration form.

Participation as a subawardee entails two distinct administrative responsibilities.

1. FastLane Portion
   • The PI from the Lead Institution assigns a PIN to the proposal and then shares that PIN and Proposal ID# with the UConn subaward applicant.
   • The UConn subaward applicant then logs in with last name, SSN, FastLane password and the PIN and proposal ID#. This provides access to the lead institution’s proposal and enables full functionality including upload of budget, letters of support, biographical sketch, etc.


2. UConn Portion

   In addition to FastLane requirements, there are several documents that the UConn subaward applicant is required to submit to OSP:

   • Internal Proposal Review Form with signatures
   • Signed Significant Financial Interest Disclosure Forms for all key personnel
   • Completed Federal Cooperating Consortium Agreement
   • Budget and Budget Justification
   • Scope of Work – a narrative description of the subawardee’s role in the lead institution’s project
