CAREER Proposal Submission Timeline: Account Management
Milestones
• To apply to the CAREER program, a proposer must have an NSF account (NSF ID) in Research.gov and an organization-
approved PI role affiliated with an organization registered with NSF. This requirement is also applicable to Grants.gov proposers
• Grants.gov proposers must have both an NSF account (NSF ID) and a Grants.gov account
▪ Proposers who previously submitted a postdoctoral fellowship proposal to NSF in Grants.gov or registered as an unaffiliated
individual in their Grants.gov account can inadvertently attempt to apply to the CAREER program as an individual unless
their Grants.gov account profile is updated. NSF CAREER proposals cannot be submitted by an individual
▪ Grants.gov proposers should contact Grants.gov to update their Grants.gov account profile as necessary before starting
their CAREER proposal to ensure that they are not applying as an individual
• Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) submits the proposal to NSF. This requirement also applies to proposals
submitted via Grants.gov

Grants.gov Proposal Processing in Research.gov Informational
Resource
https://www.research.gov/common/attachment/Common
/Grants_govProposal_Processing_in_Research.pdf
• Grants.gov Proposal Processing in Research.gov page
• When submitting via Grants.gov, NSF typically recommends
proposers initiate proposal submission at least five business days
in advance of a deadline to allow adequate time to address NSF
compliance errors and resubmissions by 5:00 p.m. submitting
organization's local time on the deadline. Additional time (i.e.,
nine days) is recommended for the CAREER proposal
submission deadline due to the high volume of expected
submissions
• Grants.gov proposals must pass all NSF pre-check and post-
check validations in order to be accepted by Research.gov at
NSF
• Some errors cannot be corrected in Grants.gov. Once a proposal
passes pre-checks but fails any post-check, the proposer can
only correct and submit their in-progress proposal in
Research.gov
• Receiving a Grants.gov Agency Tracking Number does not mean
the proposal was successfully accepted by NSF
23
Grants.gov Proposal Submission
• Proposals submitted via
Grants.gov must pass through
multiple systems for processing
• Each Grants.gov proposal
successfully submitted to NSF
triggers four Grants.gov
confirmation emails and one
Research.gov confirmation email.
Additional Research.gov emails
requiring action by the proposer
are possible
• Grants.gov proposals must pass
all Research.gov pre-check and
post-check validations and be
successfully submitted to NSF by
5:00 p.m. submitting
organization's local time on
Wednesday, July 24

1. Submission Receipt
2. Submission Validation Receipt
3. Agency Retrieval Receipt of Application
If the three Grants.gov confirmation emails listed above are not received within 10 minutes
after submitting the proposal in Grants.gov, the PI shoul d call the NSF IT Service Desk at 800-
381-1532 for assistance.
The fourth Grants.gov confirmation email is sent to the PI after the proposal has been
successfully submitted to NSF and a proposal number is assigned. The proposal has not been
successfully accepted by NSF until the PI receives the Research.gov confirmation email
4. Tracking Number Assignment

Post-Review: Current and Pending (Other) Support Update Requests
• Cognizant NSF Program Officer will request that
an updated version of Current and Pending
(Other) Support be submitted for all senior/key
personnel named on the proposal prior to making
a funding recommendation
• SciENcv will produce an NSF-compliant PDF
version
• AOR submits the updated document using the
Research.gov budget revision feature for each
individual named as senior/key personnel on the
submitted proposal
• See the Preparing Updated Current and Pending
(Other) Support how-to guide for step-by-step
instructions

Research.gov Proposal Preparation Demo Site Tips
• Demo site FAQs are available on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission page via
the left navigation bar. How-to guides with step-by-step instructions and screenshots are also available
• The demo site is available both to the research community and to NSF staff
• An orange "Proposal Preparation Demo Site" banner is at the top of each demo site page to indicate the user
is on the demo site
• The demo site allows users to prepare and edit proposals before preparing them in the actual Research.gov
site
• Demo site proposals are not visible or available in the actual Research.gov Proposal Submission System,
and data cannot be transferred between the demo site and the actual proposal system
• All proposal and submission types available in the actual system are also available in the demo site. As
proposal and submission types are added to the Research.gov Proposal Submission System, they will also
be added to the demo site
• All compliance checks enabled in the actual Research.gov Proposal Submission System are also in the
demo site. Proposers can use the demo site as a resource to check document compliance before uploading
them in the actual system
43
Research.gov Proposal Preparation Demo Site Tips (cont’d)
• Proposals created in the demo site will be available for six months and then will be deleted by NSF. Neither
NSF nor users will be able to access deleted demo proposal data
• Demo site does not support proposal submission and will not trigger any system-generated email
notifications (e.g., link requests for separately submitted collaborative proposals)
• The organization that you are affiliated with in your NSF account profile will be incorporated when you are in
the proposal preparation demo site, but the user role(s) that you have will not be available in the demo site
▪ All users who access the demo site will be given the role of PI and the mock organization “National
Science Foundation”
▪ This means that users from the research community will have the organization(s) they are affiliated with
in their NSF account profile plus the “National Science Foundation” mock organization as available
organizations in the demo site
• The only time other users will be able to view and/or edit any proposals that you create in the demo site is if
you add them to the proposal as a co-PI or Other Authorized User (OAU). If you don’t add any users to the
proposal, no one will else will be able to access, view, or edit your demo proposal
