Broader Impacts Infrastructure Summit 2014

全国各地的学术机构越来越多地聘请更广泛的影响专家(BISS)来帮助首席调查人员解决NSF更广泛的影响(BI)标准。这项建议的智力价值是为BIS提供了一个研讨会，讨论如何更好地设计BI活动。目标是建立一个实践共同体的框架，即国际清算银行的培训、对国际清算银行设计的活动的宣传和评价以及国际清算银行社区的支持。2014年更广泛的影响基础设施峰会寻求国家科学基金会和国际清算银行社区之间的接触，分享最佳做法，并提议组织一个国际清算银行国家网络。峰会的更广泛影响是加深了对BI标准的理解，以及BISS如何能够创造更好的BI活动和增加研究人员的参与，特别是那些历史上为黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、少数族裔服务机构(MSI)和EPSCoR管辖范围内的机构。讲习班的活动将突出BISS的贡献，并将包括来自HBCU、MIST和EPSCoR管辖区的与会者。

Increasingly, academic institutions across the country are employing Broader Impacts Specialists (BISs) to help Principal Investigators address the NSF Broader Impacts (BI) criterion. The Intellectual Merit of this proposal is a workshop for BISs to discuss how to better design BI activities. The goal is to establish the framework for a community of practice, that is, the enculturation of training of BISs, the advocacy and the evaluation of BIS-designed activities and the support of the BIS community. The 2014 Broader Impacts Infrastructure Summit seeks engagement between the NSF and the BIS community, sharing of best practices, and proposes organizing a national network of BISs. The Broader Impacts of the summit are an increased understanding of the BI criterion and how BISs, especially those at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and within EPSCoR jurisdictions, can create better BI activities and increased engagement by researchers. Activities in the workshop will highlight the contributions BISs and will include participants from HBCUs, MISs and EPSCoR jurisdictions.
