The purpose of this web site is to connect faculty with College of Engineering diversity and student programs early in the NSF proposal writing process to create meaningful and effective collaboration to "broaden participation of underrepresented groups (Criterion 2)."  Rationale NSF Suggested Activities Explains the requirements for NSF Criterion 2. This site focuses specifically on how to "Broaden Participation of Underrepresented Groups" although the activities overlap with many of the approaches for demonstrating broader impacts. Lists examples for addressing Criterion 2 from the NSF web site and the corresponding diversity and programs in the College of Engineering  COE Resources COE Proposal Examples Lists a variety of ways the College of Engineering is already working to recruit and retain competitive diverse engineering students. Lists examples of small to large NSF awarded proposals that clearly address criterion 2 in the broader impacts statement.
