Broader Impacts Writing Retreat

In addition to its intellectual merits, each proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation (NSF) is reviewed according to the merits of its broader impacts (BI) plan, or the benefits of the proposed research to society. Come to this workshop to learn more about NSF’s BI criterion and major BI goals, the six core components of a successful BI plan, and key resources to help you develop a winning proposal. An MSU researcher will share how he incorporated these components into his BI plan.

Speakers:

• Miles McNall, Director for Community-Engaged Research, Office for Public Engagement and Scholarship
• Sara Steenrod, Grant Consultant, Office of Research and Innovation
• Lauren Aerni Flessner, Grant Consultant, Office of Research and Innovation

Sponsors: University Outreach and Engagement and Office of Research and Innovation
