Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation
(EFRI)

• EFRI focuses support on important emerging areas
  in a timely manner.
• Typically, the annual budget for EFRI will be
  3-to-5 percent of the directorate budget
  (15-to-30 million).
• It is expected that the investment in any topic
  will range from 3 million to the total annual
  ERFI budget.
