An Updated Approach to Broader Impacts

Shifting priorities at the National Science Foundation and other federal funding agencies have raised questions about how to articulate the broader impacts of research in a way that is compelling, authentic and responsive. While some considerations have evolved, others remain unchanged.

In this panel discussion, Virginia Tech experts will clarify those distinctions and share advice on identifying and describing your project’s potential broader impacts. They will also discuss how to integrate those elements into your research program to maximize societal benefits and strengthen the persuasive power of your grant writing.
