Broader Impacts:

The ways in which work proposed to NSF will impact audiences beyond the narrow field of the proposer. Broader impacts can be education outreach, diversity, or societal implications investigations, among other things. NSF requires all proposals to include a broader impacts plan, and it’s part of the criteria by which proposals are reviewed.

Nanomedicine Explorer Interactive Multimedia Kiosk Formative Evaluation

Contact: Kerry Bronnenkant | Museum of Science Boston

The Nanomedicine Explorer kiosk at the Museum of Science, Boston provides opportunities to learn about nanomedicine, nanotechnology, cancer biology, new research in cancer diagnosis and therapy, and the process of medical research from bench to bedside. This report is the formative evaluation of the prototype of this kiosk, presenting the results of visitor observations, exit surveys, and interviews. The findings of these data served to provide the Nanomedicine Explorer production team a basis from which to make improvements to the program, which was released as Version 1.0 in May of 2009.
