Overview
Each grantee will prepare a one-page .pdf document (single-spaced, 1-in. margins, minimum 11-point front) that describes and highlights their research as outlined below for each of the (6) topic areas. These research highlights will be posted on the Conference website and attendees will be encouraged to view them prior to the meeting in order to jumpstart their networking opportunities at the Conference.

Note: We will be very firm about the parameters for the documents. If they do not conform, they will be returned to the PI.

The given elements of the form documents include  the following:

• Grant Number
• Grant Title 
• Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator Names and Institution(s)
• What are your research objectives?
• What are key features of your efforts that you consider higher risk/higher payoff transformative research?
• What national need or grand challenge is your project impacting?
• What are the different disciplines involved in your research and how are you achieving cognitive integration towards the goal of your project?
• What are one challenge and one opportunity that need further exploration?
• Have you started any collaboration with other EFRI grantees within or outside your group? (Not applicable to the Class of 2009)

An additional question will be addressed by each class as follows:

Class of 2009

• BSBA and HyBi
  How does your project address criteria for its specific EFRI theme (HyBi or BSBA) that was delineated in the Program Solicitation?

Class of 2008

• COPN
  What new general-purpose designs or algorithms have you developed for optimal decision-making over time, or prediction, or both?
• RESIN
  What are emerging understandings of interdependent infrastructure systems to be both resilient and sustainable?

Class of 2007

• ARES
  Are there new mathematical/analytical foundations that you have developed that could describe autonomous reconfiguration under unexpected unplanned events, in general, or specific to your project?
• CBE
  What is one advance you have made in the experimental and computational understanding of the biological impact of the interactive effects of mechanical, electrical, and chemical factors that influence molecular, cellular, and interfacial behavior in healthy, stressed, or diseased states as related to your project?
