The US Department of Energy (DOE), Israel’s Ministry of Energy, and the Israel Innovation Authority have announced a call for proposals for a U.S.-Israel Center of Excellence in Energy, Engineering and Water Technology (Energy Center). The Center, which resides under the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD), will initially fund up to USD$16 million for research in the areas of the energy-water nexus, fossil energy, energy storage, and cybersecurity. The US and Israeli governments will provide USD$8 million each for the initial two-year launch of the Center.
The goal of the Center is to promote energy security and economic development through the R&D of innovative energy technologies, while facilitating cooperation among consortia of US and Israeli companies, research institutes, and universities.
The submission deadline for full proposals is August 15, 2019. More information on the call for proposals and how to apply can be found on the BIRD Foundation website.
The establishment of a joint US-Israel energy center was first authorized by the US Congress in the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014. In February of this year, DOE announced the BIRD Foundation as the operating agent of the Center. The BIRD Foundation was established by the US and Israeli governments in 1977 to generate mutually beneficial cooperation between US and Israeli companies, including startups and established organizations. DOE manages the BIRD Foundation’s BIRD Energy program for the US side.
