5 Broader Impacts in Your Proposal Mistakes grant proposers
make programs included in proposal without their knowledge no
budget for initiatives reinventing the wheel instead of leveraging
expertise too general to be meaningful

more than ethnicity Our vision for K-12 EOT includes leveraging
high-impact 4-H youth development, the largest out-of-school
program in the nation that reaches over 7 million K-12 participants
through more than 3,500 professional cooperative extension
educators and over 500,000 trained volunteers. We will partner with
the head of the Purdue University Department of Youth Development
and director of engineering-related projects in Indianas statewide
4-H program to connect with regional and

learning experiences for elementary and middle school students in
after-school clubs and will submit this high-quality curriculum for
review and inclusion in the National 4-H Product Catalog. We will
bring high school students into our laboratory to pilot a
project-based workshop model transferrable across our equipment
sites and will develop an earthquake engineering challenge for use
at the National 4-H Engineering Challenge held annually at

more than ethnicity Purdue since 1995. In year five, we will hold a
National Training Program for 4-H Professionals to promote our 4-H
materials. We will showcase material by sponsoring a booth at the
National Association of Extension 4-H Agents and will make
curriculum accessible on our project website.

create accessibility We anticipate our cyberinfrastructure will
move the Center beyond accessibility to true usability of
simulation tools and content by non-specialists, and, as
demonstrated by nanoHUB data, participation by minority
institutions will increase 85. Data and tools that were previously
only accessed and implemented with extensive computational
resources and test equipment are now available with only an
Internet connection and a laptop. This allows for broader access to
all of

connection or geographical location. Hub technology will also
enable us to quantify how many users are from minority institutions
and what resources were the most accessed.
