National Information Management & Support System
Welcome! The National Information Management and Support System (NIMSS) is a web-based application that will allow
participants of Multistate Research Projects and Activities to submit proposals and reports online. Interested parties, stakeholders
and cooperators can also query the System for relevant and timely information. NIMSS manages Multistate Research and
Activities supported by the State Agricultural Experiment Station (SAES) from the Hatch Multistate Research Fund (MRF)
provided by the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
