Grantees will be assigned to staff their posters during one of two 60-minute timeslots on Thursday morning, March 24, and, again, are encouraged to involve their students. The two slots are 9:45am to 10:45am, and 10:45am to 11:45am. Chimes will indicate when one session ends and the other begins.
Posters will be on display throughout the conference to allow NSF staff to view the posters as their schedules permit. The Thursday evening reception will be in proximity to the posters as well, for additional informal networking.
Investigators will be able to mount their posters starting at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 24,, in the Capital View Ballroom on the 14th floor. The means to affix the posters to the posterboards will be provided. Beverages will also be offered, as breakfast begins at 7:30am in the Potomac Ballroom Foyer on the lobby level.
