Joint Israeli-German Basic Research Projects in all Fields of the Sciences and the Humanities
Deadline: 14. Oktober 2024
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the Israel Science Foundation (ISF) are pleased to announce the launch of a call for joint Israeli-German research projects which will follow a Lead Agency Procedure. According to this model, the evaluation of joint research proposals will be carried out alternately by one of the funding organisations which in turn will serve as the Lead Agency.
In this first call, the DFG will act as the Lead Agency and will be responsible for the review and evaluation process. In the second call, the ISF will serve as the Lead Agency and so on.
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.
This bilateral call will be managed via a Lead Agency Procedure. The DFG will act as the Lead Agency in this call, i.e. proposals have to be prepared in DFG format according to the DFG guidelines and the DFG will be in charge of organising the review and evaluation of the proposals. The joint proposals have to be submitted to the DFG by the principal investigator (PI) based in Germany. If several PIs are involved, only one PI from Germany should submit the joint proposal.
The ISF and the DFG will use their standard programmes for proposals within this initiative, i.e. DFG: the Research Grants Programme, ISF: the Personal Research Grants Programme (links see below).
Please note that there are no separate funds available for this joint initiative. This opportunity follows the general funding lines and budget of the DFG and ISF. Proposals must succeed on the strengths of their intellectual and scientific merit and teams in comparison with all other proposals. The funding organisations aim to support the proposals among the top 20 percent in the respective evaluation.
