How do scientists impact society in the twenty-first century? Many
scientists are increasingly interested in the impact that their
research will have on the public. Scientists likewise must answer
the question above when applying for funding from government
agencies, particularly as part of the 'Broader Impacts' criterion
of proposals to the US National Science Foundation. This book
equips scientists in all disciplines to do just that, by providing
an overview of the origins, history, rationale, examples, and case
studies of broader impacts, primarily drawn from the author's
experiences over the past five decades. Beyond including theory and
evidence, it serves as a 'how to' guide for best practices for
scientists. Although this book primarily uses examples from the
NSF, the themes and best practices are applicable to scientists and
applications around the world where funding also requires impacts
and activities that benefit society.
