As researchers we are increasingly challenged to engage in problems that address broader societal challenges. These opportunities introduce terms like logic models, broader impacts, economic development, and stakeholders into our project lexicon. This session will discuss some of the issues and engage a broader discussion about how we, as researchers, engage.
