This award provides support for a two-day workshop that focuses on and initiates a broadened discussion of NSF Merit Review Criterion II - 'Broader Impacts.' The premise is that sharing ideas and practices regarding Criterion II can give rise to greater benefits from 'Broader Impact' activities. The goals of the workshop are (1) to identify existing resources across the MPS disciplines that are available to meet researchers' Broader Impact requirements and to enhance these activities; (2) to gather information from education and outreach professionals who regularly work with research scientists to determine Broader Impact tool needs and their discipline specificity; (3) to determine the types of materials (hardcopy, digital, web, other) that would likely be most useful for the more fulsome involvement of researchers in Broader Impact activities; and (4) to identify the best dissemination pathways for the tools that will be identified and developed. The 'Toolbox' metaphor has been chosen by the PI as a means of demonstrating the utility of shared experiences not only in meeting 'Broader Impact' requirements, but also in enriching Broader Impact activities. A group of two dozen scientists and educators, drawn from the range of MPS disciplines, have been invited to bring the experiences of their disciplines to the workshop. As background for progress on the goals above, invited participants are providing input via a website http://physics.unl.edu/~diandra/DLP_Group_Website/BIT/BIT.php that the PI has established for this purpose.

该奖项为为期两天的研讨会提供支持，该研讨会重点关注并启动了NSF Merit Review Criterion II -“更广泛的影响”的广泛讨论。“前提是，分享关于标准二的想法和做法可以从”更广泛的影响“活动中获得更大的好处。 研讨会的目标是（1）确定MPS学科中可用于满足研究人员更广泛影响要求的现有资源，并加强这些活动;（2）从定期与研究科学家合作的教育和外展专业人员那里收集信息，以确定更广泛影响工具的需求及其学科特异性;（3）确定可能对研究人员更充分地参与更广泛影响活动最有用的材料类型（硬拷贝、数字、网络、其他）;（4）确定将被确定和开发的工具的最佳传播途径。 PI选择了“更广泛的影响”比喻，作为一种手段来证明共享经验不仅在满足“更广泛的影响”要求方面的效用，而且在丰富“更广泛的影响”活动方面的效用。 来自MPS学科范围的二十多名科学家和教育工作者应邀将其学科的经验带到研讨会上。 作为上述目标进展的背景，受邀与会者通过PI为此目的建立的网站http://physics.unl.edu/~diandra/DLP_Group_Website/BIT/BIT.php提供投入。
