MSU is working diligently to help streamline and simplify required steps when developing your research proposal using www.research.gov (including NSF FastLane proposals). As mentioned in the notice sent out by MSU SPA (inserted below), you can now quickly log in using your MSU credentials to rapidly enter your Proposal Preparation page with fewer clicks. This upgrade pulls in your existing account and makes the process quicker and easier to access. This new access point does not replace your username and password, but will help to provide a new (faster) way to access your account.
