Bush Foundation Fellowships—Creating Broader Impact: A Study of How Individuals Contribute to the Strength of Communities, Institutions and Fields (Executive Summary). Prepared for the Bush Foundation by Susan Showalter and Vicki Itzkowitz in June 2006.

The study’s key findings draw on survey results from over 250 fellows, in-depth interviews with over a hundred fellows and an equal number of “observers” who are familiar with their work, the literature review, interviews with external informants and Foundation directors, and conversations with Foundation personnel.

This research points to a common pathway for creating impact, confirming the Foundation’s implicit understanding of how broader impact occurs.
