Acknowledgments

The credit for the discoveries highlighted in America's Investment in the Future belongs to the thousands of scientists, engineers, educators, universities, and research centers that the National Science Foundation has supported since 1950. Just as advances in science and engineering are the result of collaboration, so, too, is this book celebrating the Foundation's first fifty years.

America's Investment in the Future was developed by NSF's Office of Legislative and Public Affairs (OLPA), under the guidance of Acting Director Michael Sieverts. Ellen Weir, acting head of OLPA's Communications Resources Section, is the project director.

The book reflects the vision of former OLPA Director Julia A. Moore, currently a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Stacy Springer, former head of the Communications Resources Section, oversaw the project through much of its development.

NSF is grateful to Low + Associates, Inc. for its communications expertise. Terry Savage directed a talented team of writers, editors, and designers that included Cindy Lollar, Adam Saynuk, Chris Leonard, Susan Lopez Mele, Scott Allison, and Christine Enright Henke.

The Foundation thanks Mike Cialdella of The Foundry for his print management expertise, and also acknowledges the excellent prepress and printing services of Hoechstetter Printing.

NSF expresses its thanks both to the authors and editors who researched and wrote about the scientists, engineers, teachers, and others who, with support from NSF, made discoveries that have changed the way we live, and to the many reviewers, who ensure that what we say is true.
