Additional Information:
The BSF Research Grants program is the main program of the BSF, and it funds both U.S. and Israeli scientists who wish to collaborate on research projects that address topics in basic science. In recent years the BSF has been receiving some 400 research grant applications annually, including start-up applications, approving about 100. At any given moment there are around 450 active grants in this program, and the total annual expenditure in this program is around $16 M.
Applications to the program are made jointly by U.S. and Israeli researchers. No prior collaboration is required, but the synergy between the researchers must be evident. Also, as you might imagine, the BSF is different from a national science foundation, and insists not only on scientific excellence, but also on collaboration between the principal investigators from the two countries. We base our evaluation of the collaboration, first and foremost, on the joint publications that emanated from the grant. Lack of joint publications might affect your chances to receive future BSF grants.
Submissions to the program are made once annually in mid-November, but submission in any specific scientific discipline is allowed only each second year (See Areas of Research). The results are announced in early July of the following year, after the summer BSF Board meeting, in which the number of grants and their average size are determined. Traditionally, the board does not discuss specific proposals or fields.

Lumina Foundation
- Grant Amount:
- Approx. $200,000 to $450.,000
- Deadline:
- (For Internal Discussion: 11/29/2024)
- Category:
- Education
Additional Information:
Note: As Lumina does not accept or respond to unsolicited requests or letters of inquiry, our goal with this is internal RFP is to identify and surface potential ideas and/or projects of relevance to the Lumina Foundation, to provide a basis for initial discussion with Lumina program officers.
Lumina Foundation works in partnership with education and business leaders, civil rights organizations, policymakers, and individuals who want to reimagine how and where learning occurs. Lumina Foundation and like-minded business, higher ed, nonprofit and policy leaders center their efforts on developing a system of learning after high school that positions all individuals for informed citizenship and success in a global economy. This involves understanding today’s students, their needs, how higher education and workforce training must evolve to meet these needs, and helping Americans and others who can make changes happen visualize the future that a better-educated nation brings. Lumina is focused on supporting programs and policies that offer large impact and involve key stakeholders at the state and national levels.
The Foundation believes that:
- The US needs a comprehensive learning system that ensures opportunities for individuals to earn meaningful credentials that are widely available and distributed fairly. A coherent approach to designing academic and training programs would lead to credentials that affordably position people for informed citizenship and success in a global economy. This emerging system should be easy to understand, clear about costs and outcomes, and prepare people for better work and lives and even more learning. Degrees and other credentials remain the currency for verifying what people know and that they can apply their knowledge and skills.
- Today’s colleges and universities must affordably broaden college participation in ways that benefit society and position individuals for informed citizenship and success in a global economy. As the pace of change accelerates, lifelong learning will become increasingly important for people to maintain work-relevant knowledge and skills—and higher education must change to meet these needs.
Lumina foundation is most interested in:
- Projects or programs explicitly designed to bring about systemic, large scale or nationwide impact.
- Creating an environment in which effective practices are directly connected to policies that support systemic change.
