Building Your Research Impact Identity and Vision to Achieve Broader Impacts

September 28, 2023
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Zoom

Researchers are more effective in achieving intended societal impacts when they have taken the time to consciously consider their impact identity. A researcher's impact identity integrates research identity with urgent societal needs; personal commitments, preferences, skills; and institutional context. Come to this hands-on workshop to develop your impact identity and vision for achieving societal impacts throughout your career.

Speaker:

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.
