NSF GRFP Workshop: How to Address Broader Impacts in Your Fellowship Application

 Registration is closed for this event
Learn strategies for developing a successful broader impacts plan that will advance discovery and understanding, broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, and ultimately benefit society. This event includes workshop activities, a panel of successful Fellows, and opportunities to connect with campus and community partners.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) employs two criteria in theĀ  review of Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) applications: intellectual merit and broader impact. Experience shows that while most applicants have little difficulty responding to the criterion relating to intellectual merit, many struggle to frame the broader impacts of the activities they propose to undertake. To address the broader impacts, applications are expected to include ways in which activities and projects will advance discovery and understanding, broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, enhance the infrastructure for research and education, and ultimately benefit society.

This workshop is designed to help you address the concept of broader impacts in your fellowship application through discussing strategies for writing a successful broader impact plan, hearing from panelists about successful fellowship proposals, and learning about resources on campus focused on effective integration of research and education. Following the workshop, there will be an opportunity to network with campus and community partners.

This event is co-sponsored by the Delta Program in the Graduate School and the Discovery Building's public engagement with science programs supported by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), Morgridge Institute for Research, and the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery.
