Broadening Participation

What does Broadening Participation mean? The National Science Foundation, recognizing that a diverse and capable workforce is vital to maintaining the nation’s standard of excellence in STEM, is committed to expanding opportunities to people of all racial, ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and to persons with disabilities. Broadening Participation in STEM is included in NSF’s merit review criteria.

Learn what it means to broaden participation, why it matters and how to get started. This session will benefit PIs who are starting to develop their NSF Broader Impacts criteria or who are exploring research impacts in their research career.
