UC Berkeley’s Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research announced its first call for joint research projects through the California-Israel Collaborations in Research program.
Proposals are invited that strengthen US-Israel collaboration in designated STEM fields. Outcomes of successful projects may include, but are not limited to:
- Joint scientific publications
- Increased visibility and scientific impact in Israel, the state of California, the U.S., and the world
- Strengthening links between the scientific communities of California and Israel
- Fostering new forms of collaboration between research centers of excellence
- Submission of a joint proposal to develop a subsequent co-funded research project
Preference will be given to proposals creating new collaborations between researchers in California and Israel that are likely to result in long term projects.
Applicants must submit a notice of intent by September 1. Full proposals are due by September 15. Awards will be announced later this fall.
