Registration

On the registration screen, all fields (*) are required to be completed. It is important that you register under the Experiment Station where you belong. If you are not affiliated to a station/institution indicated in the pull down menus, choose "New" and enter the name of your institution, group, organization, or association. Before doing this, please check the pull down menu for "Other" to make sure that your institution has not been entered. Entries under "New" are automatically added into the "Other" pull down menu.

After you register a confirmation e-mail is sent to the Regional System Administrator and the e-mail address provided in the registration. For example, if the user indicates he/she is from a station in the West, the Western Regional System Administrator will also get the registration e-mail confirmation. The Regional System Administrator will then assign the access to the user depending on the user's designation, e.g. as Administrative Advisor or Station Director. If the user is registered and is not from one of the four regions (North Central, Northeast, South, West) then by default the e-mail is sent to the Northeast Regional System Administrator who is currently serving as the Central NIMSS Administrator.

The Regional System Administrator will assign your access according to the following categories:

• Station Director
• Administrative Advisor
• Regional Review Committee Member
• Project Coordinator or Technical Committee Member
• Executive Director
• Chair person

General users are not assigned any of the above categories and will not be allowed to perform any functions except search.
