Poster Session Instructions
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.
