NSF changed their account registration process to provide each new user with a single profile and unique identifier (i.e., NSF ID) to login to Research.gov/Fastlane. As a result of this change, MIT can no longer create new Research.gov/Fastlane account IDs. Creating IDs for NSF is now self-service.
Requesting an NSF Research.gov/Fastlane Account
To request a Research.gov/Fastlane account, you can register yourself at the link below:
https://www.research.gov/accountmgmt/#/registration
If you need to request a role, you will need MIT’s UEI #: E2NYLCDML6V1. RAS will be notified of your role request and will review it.
Affiliating an Existing Research.gov/Fastlane Account
To affiliate an existing Research.gov/Fastlane account with MIT, users with an NSF Research.gov/Fastlane account from another organization must login as PI and request a new role with MIT’s UEI number above.
Password Reset
To change your current password, use the Change Password link when you sign in to Research.gov - My Profile.
If you have forgotten your password or NSF ID, or are having issues signing in, please use the Change Password or Forgot?/Look Up NSF ID options on Research.gov’s User Sign-in page.
If you continue to have password issues, please contact the NSF directly at 1-800-381-1532 or rgov@nsf.gov.
