Broader Impacts Planning
Research Development offers consultations to Florida State University faculty researchers who are developing structured plans or proposals specifically focused on how their research impacts society and contributes to achieving specific, desired societal outcomes.
When science engages directly with communities, it underscores the relevance of research and its real-world impact. Because this connection is so vital, funders like the National Science Foundation (NSF) require research proposals to show how they will benefit society, not just advance scientific understanding. For many researchers, this represents a shift in perspective, often calling for new types of collaborations and support during the proposal-writing process.
