Ideas from NSF

• Demonstrate the linkage between discovery and societal benefit by providing specific examples and explanations regarding the potential application of research and education results.

• Partner with academic scientists, staff at federal agencies and with the private sector on both technological and scientific projects to integrate research into broader programs and activities of national interest.

• Analyze, interpret, and synthesize research and education results in formats understandable and useful for non-scientists.

• Provide information for policy formulation by Federal, State or local agencies.

Examples

• A powerpoint presentation on the Broader Impacts of the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program.
