National Science Foundation-Binational Science Foundation Funding Opportunities
Since 2012, the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF) and the NSF have cooperatively funded joint research programs of U.S. and Israeli researchers in 12 NSF divisions and several interdivisional programs. The goal of these US-Israel collaborative research opportunities is to help reduce some of the current barriers to working internationally. Proposals are always part of the regular, core programs of the relevant NSF division. If the NSF decides to fund the U.S. scientist, s/he receives a standard NSF grant, and the BSF is committed to fund the Israeli partner. Various
research funding opportunities are currently available through BSF and through the jointly supported NSF-BSF programs. Application deadlines vary by program.
