Every department at UNM has a designated Y2K coordinator for researchers to work with to assess and correct any Y2K problems. Additionally, most equipment and software manufacturers have Web sites which disclose the Y2K status of their products. Also important is an awareness of the effort UNM is expending to ensure that electricity, telecommunications, centralized computing and other critical functions are Y2K compliant. Researchers can also call Max Kerlin, UNM Y2K Coordinator at 277-2611. This program is planned as a primer for those either inexperienced with award administration basics or those who simply want a refresher course.
Early arrival is suggested.
We strongly recommend that you submit your entire proposal electronically by FastLane. Submission of paper copies of the full proposal by mail is required only if you do not submit the full proposal by FastLane. Please note that where specific BIO solicitations require submission of the full proposal by FastLane, those instructions must be followed. Over the next several months, as detailed below, the Directorate for Biological Sciences will be requiring the use of FastLane for specific transactions. The NSF's Division of Chemistry is now in the third and final year of an experiment in using Target Dates in order to improve the Division's management of unsolicited proposals and to allow, where appropriate, use of disciplinary panels in the merit review process.
