The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Israel Science Foundation (ISF) announce the continuation of their funding opportunity to support joint German-Israeli research projects in an updated format.
ISF-DFG Standing Open Procedure on a Lead Agency Basis
Israeli-German research teams are invited to submit joint research proposals within the scope of basic research in all fields of the sciences and the humanities in this joint funding opportunity of the DFG and the Israel Science Foundation (ISF). This Standing Open Procedure (SOP) on a lead agency basis allows the continuous submission of joint bilateral proposals to the DFG as the Lead Agency until further notice.
This SOP works without proposal deadlines, although a few requirements have to be considered in the schedule of the proposal process, such as the yearly pre-registration obligation of the Israeli researchers on the ISF side.
There are no separate funds available for this joint funding initiative. This funding opportunity follows the general funding lines and budgets of the DFG and the ISF. The standard eligibility rules of the DFG and the ISF for their respective research grant programmes apply.
Joint projects submitted under this funding opportunity may have a maximum duration of 36 months. Proposals have to be written in English. Commercial companies must not be included as research/cooperation partners. The submission of renewal proposals (“”) is not possible within this funding opportunity.
Detailed information on the programme and application process are available on the DFG website and the ISF website.
