    Proposed Project: Fastlane Baseline Data Collection.
    Abstract: Information will be collected from faculty and 
administration at 21 colleges and universities. The purpose of the data 
collection is to establish baseline measures of applicant burden and 
customer perceptions about the NSF and Federal grant application 
process. The baseline measures will be used in future years to measures 
the effect of Fastland (NSF's electronic proposal preparation system) 
and will provide customer input to the system design. The data will 
also be used by NIH and the Department of Energy for similar purposes.
    Respondents/Burden hours: 320 respondents (16 individuals at 20 
institutions) will be interviewed for about one-hour each.

    Dated: November 30, 1995.
