IFS from the Perspectives of Current and Former Members of the Board of Trustees

Most of our blog posts this year have featured essays drawing on responses to questions posed to a range of IFS stakeholders. In March, we heard from among the 600+ current grantees about their perspectives on IFS. In April, selected members of IFS’s Scientific Advisory Committees (SACs) and external reviewers wrote about their views and their roles as volunteer advisors. For May, 286 IFS alumni (former grantees) shared their perspectives on IFS and its impact on them and their careers. For this month, we report on perspectives offered by 13 present and past members of the IFS Board of Trustees (BOT). As with the others, we began by asking respondents to describe a defining moment in their experience of IFS that exemplifies its role in science.
