Overview
BARD supports mission-oriented cooperative agricultural research projects of mutual interest to the United States and Israel. Projects cover all phases of research and development, including integrated projects and strategic or applied research. The outcomes of BARD funded Research must be accessible to the public.
Cooperative Research
Cooperative research entails active collaboration between Israeli and American scientists. Upon request, BARD will assist scientists in finding cooperators. Please send a brief abstract by e-mail. Identify the main ideas of the proposed work and include a short CV.
Typical Grant
The average BARD grant is $320,000 for a three year award. Awards are based upon the details of the budget justification, the number of funded institutions in the proposed project and the nature of the specific research program.
Feasibility Studies
BARD will consider funding a one year proposal when the request is for an opportunity to establish a basis for further research or to provide preliminary results for a particularly innovative idea or concept. Feasibility study applications must follow the same guidelines as standard proposals and adhere to the same submission dates. Funding for a one year feasibility study is $100,000.
BARD Priorities
While BARD will continue to fund agriculturally relevant and scientifically meritorious work in all traditional disciplines of agriculture, the Board of Directors identified the following areas as priority areas for the coming years:
- Increased Efficiency of Agricultural Production: including sustainable development, efficient use of resources, economic evaluation of policies and regulatory issues, crops that yield higher value per unit, etc.
- Protection of Plants and Animals Against Biotic and Abiotic Stress: including pest genetics in biological environments, invasive species and emerging diseases, tolerance to drought, salinity, high temperature & nutrient stresses, etc.
- Food Quality, Safety and Security including improved assessment & detection methods, food nutritive value in relation to human health, functional foods, ensured / increased quantity/supply, postharvest treatments, etc.
- Water Quality & Quantity including efficient use of low quality water (gray, black, saline), improved economic return for water in agriculture, crop response to soil & water quality, impact of nutrients on water quality, etc.
- Functional Genomics and Proteomics including production and protection traits, genetic optimization, increased yield, model systems, etc.
- Sensors and Robotics linking biological phenomena with sensors or otherwise bridging into the field of bioengineering, nano-technology, precision agriculture, labor reduction, etc.
- Sustainable Bio-Energy Systems including biofuel production systems, reduced energy costs, renewable resources, reduced greenhouse gases, diversified farm economy, etc.
Eligibility
Affiliates of public or private non-profit research institutions that demonstrate the necessary research and development capabilities are eligible for funding. Proposals must be submitted through such legally constituted institutions.
BARD postdoctoral fellows: For one year following the conclusion of the BARD fellowship, recipients are ineligible to submit a BARD research proposal as either the principal investigator (PI) or co-principal investigator (Co-PI) affiliated with an institution in the mentor's country. Fellows are eligible to submit as a PI or Co-PI only if affiliated with an institution in their own home country, or as collaborating investigators (requesting less than $20,000 per year) with affiliation from either country.
Investigators
Principal Investigator (PI) is that person whose name appears first on the cover page of the proposal. The PI is mutually agreed upon by the cooperating scientists and is responsible for the submission of scientific reports, administration of the grant, notification of changes in the work plan and maintaining contact with BARD. The affiliated institution of the PI becomes the Principal Institution and signs a research agreement with BARD.
Co-principal Investigator (Co-PI) is the person whose name appears second on the cover page of the proposal. The Co-PI is the senior member of the investigating team in the other country.
Collaborating Investigators are the other investigators, in either country, who are listed on the cover page and are neither the PI nor Co-PI.
The On-line Submission should include the following:
- Pdf file of the complete proposal, including the Cover Page and Abstract, Budget and Budget Description, is to be generated directly from the Word processing document (not scanned), and uploaded to the BARD website (www.bard-isus.com).
- The Cover Page and Budget Tables are to be generated from the BARD on-line submission process and incorporated into the proposal file.
- In addition, the Abstract File (rtf, doc, docx) is to be uploaded on-line as a separate file.
- Disclosure of Additional/Pending Funding Resources – the PI and Co-PI will complete this form on-line.
- Authorization (formerly Signature Pages) will be performed on-line by the Research Authority, following review by the institution’s authorizing officer. BARD will accept a proposal for consideration ONLY following its authorization by the institution’s authorizing officer via the on-line procedure. Research Authorities will receive a direct access to BARD's authorization procedure and will have additional 7 days to authorize the proposals. Print, sign and fax the Authorization page to BARD or e-mail to nitsan@bard-isus.com.
- Four Hardcopies, identical to the electronic version, are to be hand delivered or sent by courier to BARD office, post marked no later than the submission date.
Application deadline: 14 Sep 2010
