Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation 2010 (EFRI-2010)
The NSF Office of Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) is offering a funding opportunity for interdisciplinary teams of researchers to embark on rapidly advancing frontiers of fundamental engineering research. The EFRI seeks proposals with potentially transformative ideas that represent an opportunity for a significant shift in fundamental engineering knowledge with a strong potential for long term impact on national needs or a grand challenge.  EFRI will consider proposals that aim to investigate emerging frontiers in the following two specific research areas: (1) Renewable Energy Storage (RESTOR), and (2) Science in Energy and Environmental Design (SEED): Engineering Sustainable Buildings.  NSF will coordinate the review of proposals submitted to this solicitation with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). DOE and EPA may contribute to the funding of individual proposals as they deem relevant to their missions and interests.  For more information, the solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2009/nsf09606/nsf09606.htm.
