# Broader Impacts: Strategies and Best Practices
## Overview
**Broader Impacts** are one of two review criteria for NSF proposals, carrying equal weight with Intellectual Merit. Despite this, broader impacts are often treated as an afterthought - a critical mistake that costs otherwise strong proposals their funding.
**NSF Definition**: "The potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes"
**Key Principle**: Broader impacts must be **specific, measurable, and integrated** with your research plan - not vague aspirations tacked onto the end.
