The National Science Foundation (NSF) considers two criteria in their review of proposals: intellectual merit and broader impacts (BI). Broader impacts relate to how the proposed research will “benefit society or advance desired societal outcomes” and is increasingly used as the differentiator between which excellent proposals to fund or not.

The Training Team from the NSF-supported Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) organization will conduct three interactive virtual workshops on Friday afternoons throughout April in the Spring of 2025: April 4 (1pm-3pm), April 11 (1pm-3:30pm), and April 18 (1pm-3pm).
