Presentation: Susan Renoe, Director of the Broader Impacts Network and Chairperson for the National Alliance for Broader Impacts (NABI) presented on a new online evaluation
tool that is available to MU investigators through the MU Assessment Resource Center (ARC). Jennifer Goyne &
Kent Ahrens, Programmer Analysts with the ARC
demonstrated this new tool. The Broader Impacts Network Data, Evaluation & Research System (BINDERS) is an online platform that offers UM System researchers a comprehensive tool for entering, collecting, and tracking data to promote evidence- based best practices in the development, implementation, and evaluation
of BI activities related to broadening participation, undergraduate research, high school outreach, and public outreach. The user can download language that can be used in grant
proposals, and data for annual reports. The tool is free (unless hard copy surveys are ordered), and is designed to link easily with myVITA.
A User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is available to on Thursday, December 7th at 1 pm in the MU Student Center (St. Louis Room). All MU faculty and those who support faculty are welcome to attend the UAT session.
