  1. I received all "excellent's" in my broader impacts area and was awarded the NSF this year, so I will share what I did/included in my essays. Mine were mainly in my personal essay: I volunteered at the local food bank for four months (my undergrad degree was in nutrition science) I facilitated adjunct chemistry courses that supplemented the chem lecture - this was part of an NSF funded program, I did this for two years and it included additional chemistry tutoring, several hours a week I volunteered at my children['s elementary school. In my research proposal itself, I did discuss how the results could potentially affect public policy. One thing I didn't do, but I've seen it come up in winning proposals, is discuss how I planned to disseminate the research results/share the information. That might be something else to look into/write about for future submissions.
  2. Been lurking long enough, thought I would share. E/E, VG/E, E/E, E/E - awarded. First time applying/first year grad student. I'm completely stunned, but very grateful. I had a high undergrad GPA and quite a bit of service that would qualify as "broader impacts", so I think that's what clinched it. No pubs, but a few "in progress" plus 3 presentations. I was worried my proposal was better suited for NIH, but it worked out. Congrats to the other fellows, and heartfelt sympathy for those of you who didn't get it this time.
