Poster Session Instructions
*The deadline to reserve poster space online has passed. You may reserve a space for your poster onsite at the conference if you were unable to do so online.*
The poster session schedule can be found here. Please use the find function to locate your poster and refer to the schedule below to determine when your group is scheduled to present.
NSF expects each CMMI grantee to display one poster related to each grant award. Posters should describe the objectives of the grant and summarize results to date.
Each poster will be assigned an ID number and will be scheduled in one of the following four groups (A-D) where the Principal Investigator is expected to be at the poster to explain the grantee’s work and answer questions. Groups will present during the three sessions indicated.
