This workshop explores the notion of a Broader Impacts (BI) identity that will represent the long-term impact and legacy researchers efforts will have on society. It focuses on the idea of intertwining research identity and BI identity, to chart out an overall Impact Identity, and takes participants through a series of interactive, hands-on, individual and small-group activities to create in impact inventory and start forging an impact identity.

---

Most researchers are comfortable thinking about and discussing their research identity -- who they are as researchers and what contributions they hope to make to their discipline through their research over the course of their careers. It is far less common, however, for researchers to think about their impact identity -- the lasting impacts they aspire to have on their community and on society, as a whole, through their broader impacts work.

This interactive workshop will introduce the concept of a broader impacts identity and walk investigators through a process for starting to define BI identity. While any researcher is likely to benefit from this workshop, it is particularly relevant to early-career researchers (as well as to broader impacts professionals who work with researchers and can play a crucial role in helping them develop their BI identities).
