Introduction to the NSF Broader Impacts Criterion
September 6, 2022 - 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. | Zoom
Are you a newcomer to broader impacts or need a refresher on what
they are all about? This introductory workshop covers the basics of
broader impacts, including what broader impacts of research are, why
they matter, and the six essential elements of a successful broader
impacts plan. Participants will also learn about key resources and
consultation services available to help them build their BI plans and
get a sneak preview of additional workshops in the series.
Building Your Research Impact Identity and Vision
October 4, 2022 - 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. | Zoom
Researchers are more effective in achieving their intended societal
impacts when they take the time to consciously construct their impact
identities. "Impact Identity" is a concept that integrates one's
identity as a researcher with societal needs, personal preferences and
skills, and institutional context. Come to this hands-on workshop to
develop your impact identity and vision for achieving desired societal
impacts throughout your career.
Building Your Broader Impacts Plan
October 20, 2022 - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Zoom
In addition to its intellectual merits, each proposal submitted to
the National Science Foundation (NSF) is reviewed according to the
merits of its BI plan, or the benefits of the proposed research to
society. Come to this hands-on workshop to learn more about NSF's BI
criterion and major BI goals, the six essential elements of a BI plan,
and key resources to help you develop a winning proposal. Participants
will leave the workshop with a draft BI plan.
