NFT has been successful as a result of tremendous help and
assistance from many unpaid volunteers. The following acknowledges
the fifty or more persons who have provided help over the
past three years. Many have worked on several projects, and
we have tried to recognize that without going overboard.
On this page, we
have not recognized the NFT Champions, board members, Scientific
Review Board members, university point people and donors who
have made substantial contributions to our work. This page
is for the unpaid volunteers who make NFT successful. If we
have overlooked anyone, please
let us know.
