The U.S.- Israel Science and Technology Foundation (the “Foundation” ) invites submissions of applications for funding of projects to test and demonstrate an Integrated Security Management Systems Approach via pilot case studies. An integrated security management system should draw on elements derived from the current ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), BSI 18001 (occupational health and safety) standards and the new NFPA 1600 (disaster/emergency management and business continuity programs) standards. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model incorporating the 17 requirements in ISO 14001 is seen as a particularly relevant model in developing the integrated security management system.
The Foundation welcomes applications from both pilot locations, as well as technical experts who identify pilot sites within their project. The Foundation is a Washington D.C.-based 501 (c) (3) non-profit foundation established by the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission (the “Commission” ), a bi-lateral program funded by the governments of the United States and Israel. The Commission mandates programs which the Foundation implements on its behalf, therefore, all final awards and grants are subject to ratification by the Commission.
In this current round of funding, the Foundation is accepting applications in the area of Integrated Security Management Systems. All applications must have a bilateral focus, clearly showing benefit to both the U.S. and Israeli public and/or private sectors.
The goal of the project is to develop a blueprint for action for U.S. and Israeli private, public, and governmental entities. This will be accomplished by launching into “proof of concept” of an integrated security management system built on existing tools developed in the above-mentioned standards.
