Since 2008, 123 Fellows and 92 Sponsors have participated in the Noyce Leadership Institute (NLI), whose original mission is to "identify and strengthen a cadre of leaders focused on engaging communities with science". Organised in "cohorts" following a two-year programme, these individuals represented 91 institutions from 27 nations. Many Managers of Ecsite member organisations are to be found among them.

The last cohort of Fellows concluded in May 2015 and the NLI is now concentrating on the fellowship's legacy and initating an Alumni Programme.
