The U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) has named Lewis Groswald its new strategic partnerships lead. Groswald comes to NSF NCAR from Lockheed Martin, where he led government relations in weather and Earth science for the company’s commercial civil space portfolio in Washington, D.C.

As strategic partnerships lead, Groswald will build and strengthen external partnerships that advance NSF NCAR’s science and ability to foster the transfer of knowledge and technology for the betterment of life on Earth.
Groswald will assume his new position on September 16.
“Building partnerships is critically important for NSF NCAR in our endeavor to advance Earth system science in the university community. It’s also important as we continue to prioritize actionable science, inter-agency collaboration, and place-based science that is responsive to local communities,” said NSF NCAR Director Everette Joseph. “Lewis’ energy, experience, and contributions will be greatly beneficial to those efforts.”
Groswald began his career with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. He worked with the organization's Space Studies Board and Aeronautics & Space Engineering Board, first as their Lloyd V. Berkner space policy intern and then as an associate program officer supporting and directing studies across the Earth and space sciences, aeronautics, and national space policy matters.
He went on to join the staff of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Space and Science of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. He has also worked at New York University's Institute for the Study of Decision Making and the Ann & H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.
