Broader Impact of Research

Public engagement efforts will expand reach, and help your academic community closer to making large-scale impact. 
Our public engagement workshops teach skills, best practices, and encourage collaboration in goal setting and strategic communication planning. Workshops are hands-on, where active learning produces an output.

Increased Funding Opportunities

Public engagement efforts are evidence of societal impact which can attract attention from funding agencies, foundations, and organizations interested in supporting projects.
Our public engagement workshops emphasize strategic planning, outcomes, and public writing/communication, which can help bolster grant applications.
