For assistance in writing your federally funded Broader Impacts (BI) statements, sign up for a BI plan consultation. During the consultation, you can expect guided instruction covering the Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) BI Toolkit. ARIS Toolkit resources are educational, interactive, and broadly scoped to meet NSF BI objectives. After reviewing the plan elements and actively participating in the wizard steps, a researcher’s notes are summarized for use in creating a comprehensive BI plan.
