The National Science Foundation (NSF) and increasingly other funding sources require equal justification of intellectual merit and the “broader impacts” of proposed research. Having excellent broader impacts in your proposals is an effective way of insuring that your proposal rises to the top. Developing Broader Impacts statements can be daunting, but a little bit of knowledge and some preparation goes a long way towards making it easy and fulfilling. In this presentation, Dr. Alexandra Rose with CU Science Discovery will cover what Broader Impacts can look like, how and why you should start developing your “Broader Impacts Identity” even as a postdoc or graduate student, resources on the CU campus for engaging in outreach and public education, and any specific questions you have.
