NSF-BSF

Name: NSF-BSF
Application deadline: 01/12/23
General description:

Israeli researchers can join research proposals submitted by US PI(s) to the NSF, in the programs listed below. One application per calendar year (Oct 1 – Sept 30) is permitted

The Israeli budget is funded by the BSF as follows: up to $80K/yr for experimental studies and $55K/yr for theoretical and computer-based studies.

Pay attention to the application deadlines.  While many programs are open all year long, some still have specific timing limits.
