The Directorate for Engineering of the U.S. National Science Foundation held a webinar on December 4, 2023, to discuss the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) program and EFRI's fiscal year 2024-2025 solicitation (NSF 24-508), which considers proposals in Biocomputing through EnGINeering Organoid Intelligence (BEGIN OI).

BEGIN OI supports foundational and transformative research to advance the design, engineering and fabrication of organoid systems that are capable of processing information dynamically while interfacing with non-living systems.

Program Directors described the EFRI program, reviewed the solicitation topic, and provided a forum to receive and answer questions.
