BSF – NSF: Joint Program in Physics

The joint program coversexperimental and theoretical research in a broad range of subfields (see below). Excluded: Solid State Physics and Physics education. Submission to the NSF should be made by the U.S. PI alone, but include a description of the critical role of the Israeli partner (detailed work program and budget). Both PIs are required to submit to the BSF a copy of the NSF proposal. If awarded, the Israeli scientist will receive a grant from the BSF, while the U.S. scientist will receive a grant from the NSF. The size of the BSF grant to the Israelis is expected to be up to $100,000/year. Each scientist is allowed to submit more than a single proposal. However, the BSF isnot likely to award two grants to a single scientist. A scientist who is presently receiving funding from the BSF in a program other than an NSF-BSF program IS permitted to receive funding in this program but not if it is similar, or significantly overlapping a currently supported BSF project.
