This amendment to the proposal granting process emphasized NSF’scommitment to funding projects that connect science and engineering to society, via broaderimpacts.In 2010, the America COMPETES Act11 reauthorized the National Science Foundation, mandatingthe retention of the Broader Impact criterion, and requested that NSF issue a report to Congressregarding the effects of this criterion. One of the requirements requested in the report by Congresswas to provide evaluations performed by the Foundation to assess the degree to which the Broader Impact aspects of research proposals were carried out and how effective they have been at meeting the goals described in the research proposals
