Building Better (and EO-compliant!) Broader Impacts webinar recording
Trying to figure out how to work within NSF’s new Broader Impacts priorities, have societal impact, get funded, AND bring all minds into science? In our latest webinar, “Building Better (and EO compliant) Broader Impacts", we clear up all of this and more. We spend time dissecting NSF’s new rules, show examples of great BI plans, and share strategies for writing an excellent one so your proposal never gets declined based on your Broader Impacts again.
Dissecting NSF’s New Broader Impacts Rules webinar
In our latest webinar, we distilled the latest information from our contacts inside, lawyers and experts, including "Updates on NSF Priorities" and the utter destruction of NSF as we have known it.
We talk about…
- What does this mean for broadening participation?
- Which grants (1400 and counting) are being terminated, and why?
- What do the eliminations of divisions and rotators mean?
- What areas will be prioritized moving forward?
- What will the final award review process look like and mean for the proposal process?
