The NSF Directorate for Engineering is offering the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) grant to support interdisciplinary teams of researchers. This grant aims to advance fundamental engineering knowledge in rapidly emerging frontiers. Proposals are sought for two specific research areas: BioSensing & BioActuation (BSBA), focusing on the interface of living and engineered systems, and Hydrocarbons from Biomass (HyBi). EFRI seeks transformative ideas representing a significant shift in fundamental engineering knowledge with strong potential for long-term impact on national needs or grand challenges. This opportunity is designed to foster innovative research that addresses critical societal issues through advanced engineering.
