BI Support Workshops

Workshop Series

Dartmouth has been working with national partners under an NSF-funded study to determine best practices in broader impact partnerships. Through these partnerships, we are able to provide a number of resources to support faculty.

All NSF directorates participate in the CAREER program and the award is designed to develop the junior faculty in their researcher and educator roles. This is a highly competitive award and a successful application requires a balance of education and research. Through this workshop series we will offer tools and strategies for developing the Broader Impact statement, support in developing partnerships, insight from CAREER recipients and NSF program officers, and a mock review session. We hope you will sign up for this very relaxed and supportive series!

The broader impact support workshops are open to ALL faculty, regardless of program, or proposal stage.

Thursday, February 13: 12-1:00pm
