External Reports• The National Academies’ Rising Above the

Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future recommends enhancements in– K-12 education– Research– Higher Education– Economic policy

• The Engineer of 2020 (NAE, 2004) and Educating the Engineer of 2020 (NAE, 2005) asks “… how to enrich and broaden engineering education so that those technically grounded graduates will be better prepared to work in a constantly changing global economy.”

External Reports• Engineering Research and America’s Future (NAE,

2005): Committee to Assess the Capacity of the U.S. Engineering Research Enterprise– Recommends increased research support for

engineering and physical sciences– Seeks enhanced partnership, infrastructure and

workforce activities

• Innovate America: National Innovation Initiative Final Report (Council on Competitiveness, 2005)– Recommends increased support for workforce,

investments and infrastructure– Emphasizes importance of frontier and

interdisciplinary research

American Competitiveness Initiative

• The centerpiece of American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI) is to double the federal investment in key agencies that support basic research in physical sciences and engineering.

• Over the next 10 years, the Federal agencies impacted are NSF, DOE Science, and NIST.

• ACI includes three broad components:– Research in physical sciences and engineering (including 12

specific goals with 7 related to NSF)– Research and Development tax incentives– Education and workforce

Industrial Innovation and Partnerships (IIP)

Current Programs supporting academic-industry partnerships - Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) - Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) - Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) - Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) - Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI)IIP supports a wide spectrum of Technology Areas - Advanced Materials - Manufacturing - Civil Infrastructure Systems - Chemical-Based Technologies - Energy and Environment - Biotechnology - Electronics - Information-Based Technologies

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

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?

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.

Free Advice for Success…or(I’m from the government and I’m here to help)

• It all starts with Dialog, a White Paper and a Short Bio

• Get involved in NSF Reviews: Panel or Mail• Don’t be afraid of Teams• Spread Your Research Wings• Deliver on Your Promises• “No” is not Forever…Seek Feedback• “….don’t ever give up”

Thank you!
