Throughout the years, many dedicated NSF professionals have supported the ERC Program as Program Directors, Leaders, and Managers. Some have been rotators from academia, some have been career NSF civil service employees. Their service has been invaluable in building and shaping the program and guiding the ERCs. Those who have had a significant and long-term impact on the Program are displayed in this gallery, along with current Program staff.
