Maybe @GoldenDog is right and maintenance is not necessary. Unfortunately, based on @mars667 and @Straightoutta's comments, I think it might be next week (27th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanograd Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think because of this advisory: 03/14/18 - ALERT: Effective March 26, 2018, NSF is making major changes to the way the research community registers new users and organizations and maintains account information. Click here for more details. That they will have to release this week, because next monday is the 26th and this looks like it will mess up signing into fastlane.

Now the missing piece of the puzzle is the "maintenance" announcement that was supposed to happen today...

Or they could always wait until after these major changes and release it well into April like in 2009-2011...I hope this isn't the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALB1561 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I guess we will know by 9pm Eastern time whether or not they will shut down the site. This is killing me.

nc61 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 So what does it mean if my application status is still "Received"? Am I screwed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PI asked me today when I should be hearing back from the nsf about this and I told him how I am following some nsf grfp threads and he told me, oh trust me I know the feeling of constantly refreshing fastlane.

psychpride9 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Ok, so it's looking like it's not going to be tomorrow given that a maintenance message has preceded literally every announcement in the past few years, unless I'm mistaken. Now time to see if we can put it out of our minds? Edited March 20, 2018 by psychpride9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
