We are a seed-grant program. We award collaborations of California and Israeli researchers in STEM up to $25,000 to initiate major projects.
California and Israel have emerged as dynamic centers of scientific innovation, fueling economic growth. Kindred spirits animate the creative entrepreneurship of the “Start-up Nation” and Silicon Valley. California and Israel also share a dry Mediterranean climate and are at the forefront of efforts to enhance food security on a planet with diminishing freshwater resources.
California-Israel Collaborations in Research aims to strengthen the partnership between Israel and California that is thriving in the private sector by enhancing collaborative research in universities and research institutes.
