Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.OH 473https://hdl.handle.net/11299/175647Transcript, 17 pp.With support from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 0811988, “Designing and Using FastLane: Distilling Lessons for Cyberinfrastructures”) CBI researchers Jeffrey Yost and Thomas Misa conducted oral history interviews with 70 NSF staff members as well as numerous additional interviews during 29 university site visits. An overview of the project is available at <www.cbi.umn.edu/oh/fastlane/> and a complete set of 643 publicly available interviews is at <dx.doi.org/10.13020/D6RG6B>. Here on the CBI oral history database is a selection of notable NSF staff including Joseph F. Burt, Jean Feldman, C. Suzanne Iacono, Constance McLindon, Carolyn L. Miller, Paul Morris, Andrea T. Norris, Erika Rissi, Craig Robinson, Mary F. Santonastasso, Rich Schneider, Frank P. Scioli, Beverly Sherman, George Strawn, and Frederic J. Wendling. Topics common to many of the interviews include the design and development of the NSF’s FastLane computer system, interactions with users, e-government initiatives, grants management practices, peer review, and NSF policies and practices. These interviews span a wide range of NSF staff, from program officers to senior managers. Frank Scioli came to NSF in 1975 and worked as a program officer and senior manager for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Science Directorate, and provides a detailed view on the transition from paper to electronic proposals with FastLane.enComputer historyNational Science Foundation (U.S.)FastLane (Computer system)CyberinfrastructureE-governmentOral historyResearch administrationOral History
