Abstract:
The development of an Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) Program monitoring system stems from the following: a desire to obtain, on a voluntary basis, the best data available on the outcomes of the funded research. EFRI is a unique program at NSF that was motivated by the vision of the Directorate for Engineering to be the global leader in advancing the frontiers of fundamental emerging research. EFRI serves a critical role in focusing research on important emerging areas in a timely manner. EFRI awards receive support of up to a total of $2,000,000 over four years. The EFRI program has awarded 215 research proposals since 2007. Because of the unique and innovative nature of the EFRI grants, we are seeking to collect additional longitudinal information from the grantees about their research that allows us to capture the unique goals and purpose of the program. This is very important to enable appropriate and accurate evaluation of the program and to determine whether or not the specific goals of the program are being met.
