Once you have navigated back to the Funding Proposal Workspace use the Add Attachments activity to add proposal documents. The documents needing to be uploaded can vary from submission to submission. For example, for a National Science Foundation (NSF) submission, a PDF printout of your FastLane/Research.gov proposal would need to be uploaded. For another example, for a subaward submission for an NIH proposal, the typical documents that would need to be uploaded would be: SOW; NIH Biosketch; Facilities document; Equipment document; any other document required by the sponsor/solicitation.

Note: Budget Justification and documents related to a outgoing Subaward are uploaded when completing the Budget SmartForm (see Section 4 below).

Note: If this is a System-to-System submission, there may only be a few, if any, documents to upload in this area since application documents will need to be uploaded directly to your 424 application instead (see Section 5 below).

Once Add Attachments is selected, a pop-up window will appear. Use the drag-and-drop functionality to add the documents or select Add to add the needed documents. Select Choose File to select the file you would like to upload and provide a title for the document if you would like. Once selected, select OK or OK and Add Another if more documents are needing to be uploaded.

Once all documents are uploaded you will be able to locate and access the attachments under the Attachments tab of the Funding Proposal workspace. Any documents uploaded to any of the fields in the Funding Proposal SmartForms will also be viewable/accessible from this tab.

If revised documents need to be uploaded you can select the Add Attachments activity again and select the ellipsis icon to Download, Delete, or Upload a Revised Version of a particular document. If a revised version is uploaded, the number identified after the file name indicates the version number.
