The U.S. Israel Science and Technology Foundation (the "Foundation") invites submissions of proposals for funding of projects in the fields of Information, Communication and Electronic Technologies (ICET) and "Dual Use" technologies, which further the goals and objectives of the Foundation. The Foundation welcomes both new proposals, as well as resubmission of proposals from its Spring 2003 Biotechnology RFP, revised to address the current fields of interest. The Foundation is a Washington D.C.-based 501 (c) (3) non-profit foundation established by the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission, a bi-lateral program funded by the governments of the United States and Israel.
In this current round of funding, the Foundation is accepting proposals in
the areas of Information, Communication and Electronic Technologies (ICET)
and Dual Usetechnologies (technologies for domestic, commercial, and
security applications). These include the disciplines of software,
hardware, IT applications, appliances, mobile communications, optics,
electronics miniaturization, nanotechnology, process optimization, remote
sensing and surveillance technologies, imaging technologies, continuous
monitoring technologies, secure cyber infrastructure, chemical and
biological sensing and diagnostic equipment, and bioinformatics
fields. All proposals must have a bilateral focus, clearly showing benefit
to both the U.S. and Israeli ICET and Dual-Use industry sectors. Preference
is given to projects that are conducted jointly by entities from both
countries. If requested, the Foundation may offer guidance and assistance
in identifying appropriate partner entities in the other country after an
award has been granted. The Foundation seeks to support projects that offer
broad benefits to the ICET and Dual-Use industry sectors in the U.S. and
Israel, rather than solely the proposing entities. The Foundation
encourages proposals from organizations that have developed proven models,
methods, and tools to support the high tech sectors. In essence, the
Foundation seeks to fund projects that assist the Foundation in building a
broad-based self-sustaining infrastructure for collaboration between U.S.
and Israeli government, academia, and particularly industry in ICET and
Dual-Use sector and that meet the following Foundation objectives:
