Researchers seeking funding from the National Science Foundation must demonstrate that, in addition to advancing discovery and innovation, their projects will have broader impacts: the potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes.
The workshop will cover the history of the broader impacts criterion; provide strategies for conceptualizing, developing, implementing and evaluating broader impacts activities; and provide tips on leveraging existing resources and establishing partnerships to build a “broader impacts identity.”
In conjunction with the “Broader Impacts 101” workshop, UW’s Office of Research and Economic Development is sponsoring a Community Engagement, Broader Impacts and Outreach Fair from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, in the Wyoming Union Family Room. The event is free and open to the UW community.
UW campus program representatives or units involved in community engagement, broader impacts and outreach -- and who would like to display individual program information -- can register .
