Description
This program funds seed grants intended to extend the impact of BARD-supported workshops by supporting early-stage, joint research collaborations between U.S. and Israeli scientists. The primary goal is to help teams collect preliminary data and establish relationships that can lead to future, full-scale BARD grant applications. Projects must be collaborative and directly follow participation in a BARD workshop, focusing on topics relevant to agricultural research and development.
