However, these merit review criteria have been criticized as being insufficiently specific and not appropriate for all ...
This paper introduces a new framework, the Inclusion-Immediacy Criterion, that assesses who benefits from research impacts as divided into three groups: (1) advantaged groups; (2) the general population; and (3) marginalized groups. The study analyzes National Science Foundati...

As these examples illustrate, many professionals understand the value of educational outreach and are already actively involved. Others, however, may recognize the importance but may not know ho...
Evaluating the NSF broader impacts with the Inclusion-Immediacy Criterion: A retrospective analysis of nanotechnology grantsA major goal of government and non-profit scientific funding agencies is to support research and development (R&D) that has broad impacts. This study proposes a new framework, ...
We discuss multiple forms of broader impact (e.g., process鈥恇ased impacts vs. sharing of results), and then, like the abstracts we analyzed, focus on communication and engagement mechanisms. In order to aid future efforts, we provide examples of unusual and particularly creative approaches ...
