For all early career scientists, post-doctoral students, and graduate students interested in writing more effective broader impact statements in their funding proposals, a free workshop on the topic will be held April 11 at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, New Hampshire.
Deadline to apply for the free Broader Impact Collaboration Workshop is March 14. Chosen applicants will be notified by March 21.
Scientists who attend will be paired with an informal educator at the workshop who will help them increase awareness about broader impact resources and successful programming. The workshop includes one post-workshop meeting via webinar led by a COSEE Ocean Systems facilitator.
The workshop is sponsored by COSEE Ocean Systems and the New England Ocean Science Education Collaborative (NEOSEC).

One of several Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE), Ocean Systems (OS) was established in 2005 to design and implement activities that bring ocean sciences to rural and inland communities. User feedback has revealed a need for interactive products and processes that highlight fundamental concepts as well as their “big picture” connections. As a result, COSEE-OS creates and evaluates tools that highlight basic concepts and can be readily applied to other disciplines.
NEOSEC is a diverse networked collaboration of more than forty institutions from across New England, including aquariums, museums, universities, government entities and science and research centers. NEOSEC’s mission and collective purpose are to leverage New England’s extraordinary assets, to engage the public in Free understanding the vital connections between people and the ocean.
