Summary
A word cloud of about 30 words (Fig. 19.1) is a way to represent the content of this book. Along with the word cloud, some dominant themes emerge. These reappear in different contexts and chapters and thus provide the fabric that weaves together an understanding of Broader Impacts as envisioned here. Eight topics (Inset 19.1) are presented below because they rise to the top as the most important themes in the book.
Two decades ago, when the community of NSF proposers learned of the “new” Broader Impacts review criterion, many scrambled to figure out what they should say in their proposals. Professors said that they would infuse their research into the content of their courses. Others said that they would build a website about their research using the then-emerging internet.
