Since 1997, NSF proposals have been evaluated by two criteria: intellectual merit and broader impact. This webpage was designed to assist MU investigators in writing their "broader impact" statements. Contains information, web links, and contact information to ongoing programs at MU that a faculty member might wish to tie into to enhance outreach, educational components (e.g., undergraduate research , K-12; teacher training, graduate student development, Professional development such as training in responsible conduct of research), and diversity as part of their proposed program to a sponsor, particularly NSF.
