Please note that even if you and your partner do not plan to share the grant equally, you may request the maximum amount in the application.</p> <p>The BSF is aware that the grants are small, and in many cases cannot support the entire research project that is described in the proposal.

Your application will be evaluated as a joint project, and therefore the panel that discusses and grades it must be shown that the Israeli has the resources and expertise to perform his or her part in the project. Hence both the budget and the CV are very important. The same is true for the Program Director who later chooses which applications to recommend for a grant.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </div></section> <section class="section full-width faq-section"><div class="section__inner"> <a class="bookmark" id="section--the-prof-rahamimoff-travel-grant-program-for-young-scientists"></a> <h2 class="faq-section__title title--blue">The Prof. Rahamimoff Travel Grant Program for Young Scientists</h2> <ul class="faq-section__questions tree-leaves"> <li class="tree-leaf faq-section__question " id="question--where-should-i-send-the-application-3"> <h3 class="tree-leaf__title"> <a class="tree-leaf__toggle" href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="is-open" data-toggle-target="#question--where-should-i-send-the-application-3"> Where should I send the application? </a> </h3> <div class="tree-leaf__content"> <p>Send it by email attachment to <a href="mailto:bsf@bsf.org.il" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bsf@bsf.org.il</a></p> </div> </li> <li class="tree-leaf faq-section__question " id="question--what-is-the-best-time-window-to-submit-my-application-3"> <h3 class="tree-leaf__title"> <a class="tree-leaf__toggle" href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="is-open" data-toggle-target="#question--what-is-the-best-time-window-to-submit-my-application-3"> What is the best time window to submit my application? </a> </h3> <div class="tree-leaf__content"> <p>The BSF avoids funding Ph.D. students near the end of their thesis work, since we expect that the trip will not contribute much to their research.

An exception to this is in the case of students who continue their Ph.D. studies at the same lab they did their MSc, and the work is the extension of their previous work. In this case, early application makes sense and is treated accordingly.
