    Funding proposals for the National Science Foundation are reviewed on two criteria: Intellectual Merit (the science) and Broader Impacts (BI; the societal impact of the work outside of the direct research).

    Researchers want their work to have meaning in the world; one of the ways to let your research have impacts beyond your academic circle is to develop a BI identity aligned with your interests, activities, and values.

    This 3-hour workshop will address BI basics, your BI identity, how to create a BI plan, and BI resources to support your grant-seeking. We will review examples of BI activities and consider how to integrate BI into your academic career.
