Workshop
Mini-workshop:
Writing a compelling "Broader Impacts" section of your research proposal
Most Federal funding agencies (the National Science Foundation among these) require that research proposals include a section on ``Broader Impacts’’.
In this 2-hour workshop we will:
• present the principles that should guide the exposition and delivery style of the Broader Impacts section;
• discuss content of the Broader Impacts section;
• read and critique a few samples of Broader Impacts (participants are welcome to share their own writings from old proposals);
• we will then split in small groups and re-write the Broader Impacts samples following the guiding principles;
• finally, we will read the new Broader-Impacts sections and do "before-and-after" comparisons with the originals.
