  That’s the goal. That entire second group in this article, is talking about a set of things that relate to one of two NSF review criteria. One is intellectual merit, which is pretty much what you think. The other, is what this is all related to is called or impacts. The broader impact review criteria were developed in the mid 90s on direction from Congress to ensure that science funded by the government, benefits society and the public in a set of particular ways. As with the science, PI’s get to choose what types of broader impact activities they do. As with the science itself, you and I might find some of them an interesting or even to testable, but if they meet the review effectively, the funding is not because of what they do because they met the criteria. There are valid arguments for and against the entire world abroad impacts in NSF research. This isn’t a conversation that is part of that arguments for against. Instead, this is a child who knows nothing about it, screaming and demanding attention over people who do.
