The National Science Foundation is currently undertaking a multi-year effort to modernize grantee electronic proposal and award management capabilities currently available in FastLane, and transition them to Research.gov. During this transition some functions may exist in both systems until they are completely retired from FastLane. A matrix describing which functions are found in FastLane, Research.gov, or both is available here and is updated periodically. More information about this effort is at the NSF ERA Forum website.
