BARD

THE US-ISRAEL BINATIONAL AGRICULTURAL
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUND

Call for Proposals

Call for proposals for the next round of  funding in  2021. Our programs are open to research scientists, graduate students, and postdocs. We fund research and development in agriculture. 

 The US Israel Binational Agricultural R&D Fund

BARD projects focus on increasing agricultural productivity, particularly in hot and arid climates, and emphasize plant and animal health, food quality and safety, and environmental issues. BARD also supports international workshops, and offers fellowships for postdoctoral research, senior research scientists and graduate students.

The primary rationale of BARD is bringing together American and Israeli scientists to address important agricultural challenges that concern both countries. Fostering this cooperation creates a synergy which generates results that would not be possible had the scientists worked independently.
