Description
This grant supports faculty members holding long-term positions at accredited colleges or universities in the United States or Canada to develop new Israel-focused courses or add substantive Israel-related content to their teaching portfolios. Funding can be used for research, travel to Israel, language study, or other activities that facilitate the creation and teaching of Israel-related courses. The program prioritizes substantive, ongoing curriculum development that is likely to attract strong student enrollments, particularly at the undergraduate level, and encourages the creation of new courses that will be taught regularly.
