William Eckhardt Research Building 5640 South Ellis Avenue
“Broader Impacts” refers to the ways in which research in mathematics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences can have a broad impact on society through education, policy, and economic development. Students who apply for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship are expected to show a commitment to broader impacts. Students can show that commitment by getting involved with university programs or local organizations that work toward broader impact goals.
Students who are planning to apply for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in fall 2026, are also welcome to attend a workshop taking place concurrently in the auditorium (room 161) of the Eckhardt Building from noon until 1:00 p.m. Please register here.
All students, whether applying for the NSF Fellowship or not, are welcome to come and learn about these organizations and how to get involved.
