The unique history and development of FastLane, the central nervous system of the National Science Foundation.Since 2000, the National Science Foundation has depended upon its pioneering FastLane egovernment system to manage grant applications, peer reviews, and reporting. In this behindthescenes account Thomas J. Misa and Jeffrey R. Yost examine how powerful forces of science and computing came together to create this influential grantmanagement system, assessing its impact on cuttingedge scientific research.Why did the NSF create FastLane, and how did it anticipate the development of webbased ecommerce? What technical challenges did the glitchprone early system present? Did the switch to electronic grant proposals disadvantage universities with fewer resources? And how did the scientific community help shape FastLane?Foregrounding the experience of computer users, the book draws on hundreds of interviews with scientific researchers, sponsored project administrators, NSF staff, and software designers, developers, and managers.
