Broader Impacts
Broader impacts are the potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes. They may be accomplished through:
- Research
- Activities directly related to research projects
- Activities supported by and complementary to the project
A broader impact statement describes benefits and outcomes — not logistics.
“Cords” of research, education and outreach and access-related activities integrate through your project to deliver broader impacts.
Broader impact resources and support are available on SharePoint.
