5. Plan to Implement and Assess

Based on your EWD gap, broader impact identity, selected audience and partner:

• Write the overall goal(s) for your EWD plan
  • One or two high-level goals are enough
• Write measurable objectives to accomplish goal(s)
  • Objectives can be per goal or cut across goals
  • Objectives are “time bound”
• Work with partner to tailor initiatives
• Determine realistic timeline
  • Consider phased implementation

• Determine the number of participants and how you will recruit
  • What can you budget?
  • Leverage recruiting mechanisms of your partners
  • Add recruiting mechanisms that increase likelihood of broad participation from under-resourced or underrepresented participants
• Articulate team member roles
• Determine training needs as best practice preparation
  • Do faculty members need guidance to mentor diverse students?
  • Do you need a team kick-off meeting to review a data management plan?
• Cite literature that supports your initiatives as best practices
  • See links on: Other Broader Impact Resources
• Determine how you will assess/evaluate initiatives
  • Leverage partner's existing assessment tools and mechanisms
  • Consider ARIS-promoted evaluation tools at CBoulder
  • See additional resources on: Other Broader Impact Resources
• Determine how you will disseminate results and products
  • Leverage partner's existing dissemination avenues
  • Add tools and resources to online platforms, e.g.
    
    
  • Identify what can be scaled/sustained beyond the project period
  • Be specific about workshops/conferences/journals
