Executive Leadership Positions
National Science Foundation – an independent federal agency that promotes the progress of all fields of basic
science and engineering by funding innovative basic research and promising people in the U.S. (includes
national, international, and industry partnerships).
Deputy Director, Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS), Social, Behavioral, and Economic
Sciences (SBE) Directorate, 8/2017 to present, Acting Deputy Division Director (ADDD) 5/2016 – 10/2016
BCS funds basic science focusing on understanding human processes and behavior, ranging from the
origins of our evolution, to brain mechanisms and behavior implicated in development, language, perception,
action, cognition, learning, social and cultural processes, to geographical and environmental issues that are
affected by and impact human lives.
Assess needs and trends for behavioral and cognitive sciences and scientists and represent these sciences
across the agency. Implement strategic planning and policy setting, and provide leadership and guidance to ~30
scientific and administrative staff. Determine funding requirements for a within-division and cross-agency
budget (~$90M budget), prepare and justify strategic budget estimates for SBE and OMB with an eye toward
effective, cutting edge non-core (cross-directorate, interagency, partnerships) and core program commitments,
develop evidence-based strategic planning for future investments. Oversee development of annual staffing plan
considering strategic investments and staff workload and oversee search process to secure hires. Develop novel
solutions to address personnel issues. Oversee evaluation of proposals and recommendations for awards and
declines. Develop partnerships with other divisions, directorates, federal agencies, philanthropic foundations,
scientific organizations, industry, and the academic community. Represent NSF to external stakeholders
nationally and internationally.
• Led the steering committee which included 3 division directors each from 3 directorates (EHR, CISE,
ENG) for the Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier Big Idea. We developed and approved
the FY18 solicitation, approved 12 awards for a total of $27M; developed ideas for FY2019. From
developing solicitations, presenting to cross-directorate leadership, oversight of proposal processes and
press releases across multiple years to providing responses to OMB for outyear strategic investments.
