Since 1997, the NSF's proposal review process has had two major criteria: intellectual merit and broader impacts. Centers such as the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) view the NSF broader-impacts criterion as an opportunity to develop capacity for effectively...
This article provides a context-specific look at how broader impacts criteria (BIC) and ethics are re/produced through relations of power and consequently mis/interpreted and mitigated in the proposal writing process. Grant work may not seem explicitly feminist, but as a woman of color who is ...
Software vulnerabilities pose a major threat to the safety and security of computer systems, and while there is a large body of research on how to find vulnerabilities in programs, the large, empirically tested corpora of vulnerabilities required to rigorously test that research are...
Patient-in-the-Loop Framework. This general framework promotes the use of the ICF, multiple or continuous data measurements over time, patient involvement, and computational models to aid clinicians in diagnosing and prescribing treatment. Specifically, within this ‘patient-in-the-loop’ framework, c...
valuable to explore other physiologically-plausible objectives, such as stability [223,224], fatigue [225], and comfort [226]. Second, more advanced physiologically-plausible control models [227,228,229,230] are necessary, extending beyond the current focus on locomotion to include a broader range...
* I hammered the Broader Impacts. My personal statement was at least 85% BI...there was a short anecdote about how I got interested in my field, a sentence each about my research interests and career goals, and then I went straight to BI. I actually used each of the BI criteria as ...
For the broader impacts, they are specifically looking for the enthusiasm of scientific communication to a broader audience (outside of academia). As a rule of thumb, anything in your essays which doesn't contribute to, or detracts from, these overarching criteria should be axed. Cookie 1 ...

It never had a formal definition, with the broader term minor planet being preferred by the International Astronomical Union from 1853 on. In 2006, the term "small Solar System body" was introduced to cover both most minor planets and comets.[17] Other languages prefer "planetoid" (Greek for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), which is often the source of this funding, considers proposed projects based on the criteria of "Intellectual Merit" and "Broader Impacts." However, these merit review criteria have been criticized as being insufficiently specific and not appropriate for all ...
