Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation: The Directorate for Engineering at the National Science Foundation has established the Office of Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) to serve a critical role in focusing on important emerging areas in a timely manner. The EFRI Office is launching a new funding opportunity for interdisciplinary teams of researchers to embark on rapidly advancing frontiers of fundamental engineering research. For this solicitation, we will consider proposals that aim to investigate emerging frontiers in the following two specific research areas: (1) Autonomously Reconfigurable Engineered Systems Enabled by Cyberinfrastructure (ARES-CI) and (2) Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE). EFRI seeks proposals that represent an opportunity for a significant leap or a paradigm shift in fundamental engineering knowledge. The proposals must also meet the detailed requirements delineated in this solicitation.

Additional Information on Eligibility: Organization Limit: EFRI proposals may be submitted by a single organization or a group of organizations consisting of a lead organization in partnership with one or more partner organizations. Only U.S. academic institutions with significant research and degree-granting education programs in disciplines normally supported by NSF are eligible to be the lead organization. Principal investigators are encouraged to form synergistic collaborations among researchers, and with private and public sector organizations, government laboratories, and scientists and engineers at foreign organizations where appropriate, though no funds will be provided to those organizations. PI Limit: Principal Investigators must be at the faculty level or equivalent and the lead PI must have a primary appointment in an engineering department. The PI and at least two co-PIs, all from different disciplines and with funded time committed in the budget, must be listed on the cover page or on the budget page of the proposal.
