The Computer Science Directorate of NSF (CISE) held a "Broader Impacts for Research and Discovery Summit" this past June. A summary of the meeting appeared in Computing Research News (p.6), including this list of examples, only one of which is specific to computer science:

  • Develop educational materials for elementary, high-school and undergraduate students.
  • Involve high-school and undergraduate students in research where appropriate.
  • Create or participate in existing effective mentoring programs.
  • Develop, maintain and operate a shared research infrastructure.
  • Establish international, industrial or government collaborations.
  • Form start-up companies.
  • Present research results to non-scientific audiences from policy-makers to average citizens.
  • Give presentations about the field to the public to foster life-long learning.
  • Develop exhibits in partnership with museums.
