Participants may also book, modify, or cancel reservations online at the NSF IGERT PROJECT MEETING 2008 website provided by the hotel.

Note: The Westin hotel requires that if you must cancel your reservation, you will need to do so 72 hours prior to the day of arrival in order to avoid being charged a no-show fee.
Registration Instructions:   NSF expects that each IGERT will send a PI (or Co-PI) and a graduate Trainee. Space is limited for this meeting consequently no additional/optional invitees will be accommodated.
