25. Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) EFRI will support higher risk, higher payoff opportunities leading to: –new research areas for NSF, ENG, and other agencies –new industries/capabilities resulting in a leadership position –significant progress on advancing a “grand challenge” Successful topics would likely require: –small- to medium-sized interdisciplinary teams –the necessary time to demonstrate substantial progress and evidence for follow-on funding through other established mechanisms The current investment for EFRI totals $25 million for 4- year awards at $500k per year. Sohi Rastegar, Office Director

26. EFRI Criteria TRANSFORMATIVE- Does the proposed topic represent an opportunity for a significant leap or paradigm shift in a research area, or have the potential to create a new research area? NATIONAL NEED/GRAND CHALLENGE- Is there potential for making significant progress on a current national need or grand challenge? BEYOND ONE DIVISION- Is the financial and research scope beyond the capabilities of one division? COMMUNITY RESPONSE- Is the community able to organize and effectively respond (but not in very large numbers; i.e., it is an "emerging" area)? ENG LEADERSHIP- Are partnerships proposed, and if so, does NSF/ENG have a lead role?

27. EFRI Topics FY 2007 (NSF 06-596) AUTONOMOUSLY RECONFIGURABLE ENGINEERED SYSTEMS ENABLED BY CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE (ARES) –Key idea: Autonomously reconfigurable engineered systems robust to unexpected/unplanned events CELLULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING (CBE) –Key idea: Comprehensive modeling, measurement, and control of coupled biological, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal processes at the cellular and biomolecular level under multiple stimuli. FY 2008 (NSF 07-579) COGNITIVE OPTIMIZATION AND PREDICTION: FROM NEURAL SYSTEMS TO NEUROTECHNOLOGY (COPN) -Key idea: Understanding subsymbolic intelligence can lead to development of new designs and algorithms for optimal decision making and prediction in engineered systems. RESILIENT AND SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURES (RESIN) –Key idea: Design, renew, expand, monitor, and control critical interdependent infrastructures to be both resilient and sustainable.
