NIMSS User Manual

Introduction

NIMSS is the acronym for the National Information Management and Support System. It is a joint project of the four Regional Associations:

NIMSS was designed to facilitate the work of the Agricultural Experiment Station Director in managing the station's Multistate Research portfolio. NIMSS is purely designed as a web-based application to allow submission and search of information online, anytime, anywhere.

This User Manual is organized according to the functions that can be performed online. Detailed instructions are provided specifically for forms to be completed and submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the National Guidelines for Multistate Research Activities which was approved at the National Experiment Station Section meeting on September 24, 2000. This is why the forms are referred to as Appendices.
