RDA Events
Synthetic Biology Seminar - Office of Naval Research
 
The Research and Development Authority invites interested researchers to a seminar with Dr. Patrick Rose, Science Director for Synthetic Biology, London Office, of the Office of Naval Research.
 
The seminar will include information on:
1. The Collaborative Science Program, which provides financial support for workshops/symposia organized to convene world leaders in a specific field to discuss issues, challenges, and future expectations in the specific field.
2. The Visiting Scientist Program , which offers financial support for travel to the USA to meet with academia/industry/government and strengthen existing collaborations and realize new partnerships in an effort to jointly advance the cutting edge basic research projects.
3. The Naval International Cooperative Opportunities Program , which provides a grant to conduct basic research at non-US institutions and is intended to support cutting edge, blue sky, high risk/high reward basic research projects that have the potential to be innovative and disruptive in the field.

 
The seminar will be held on June 13, 2019 at 9:00 at the RDA meeting room
Following, Dr. Rose will meet with any interested researcher in one to one meetings (to be coordinated in advance).

Events
NSF Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases:
Partnership Building Workshop
 
The multi-agency Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases program supports research on the ecological, evolutionary, and social  principles and processes that influence the transmission dynamics of infectious  diseases.
The purpose of the program is to foster partnerships between mathematical, computational and a spectrum of social scientists with life  scientists interested in infectious diseases of humans, animal and plants.  e.g. including biologists, ecologists, natural scientists, plant scientists,  clinicians and veterinarians etc. from the UK, China, Israel and the  US.
 
The UK's Science Foundation is holding a WORKSHOP to encourage joint proposals for the program, and invites Israelis interested in exploring the possibility of submitting proposals in cooperation with researchers from the UK.  
The British Foundation will fund the local hosting expenses for the Israeli participants at the conference.
Date: 17-19 June 2019
Place: Edinburgh, Scotland 
 
This event will underpin the formation of transdisciplinary  international partnership that would work together to submit bi-, tri- and/or  tetra-lateral grant applications for the next EEID solicitation
 
Proposals by Israelis for the NSF's ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES (EEID) program are generally in partnership with American  researchers, but they can also include researchers from the UK.
 
 
 
Interested parties are invited to contact BSF for further details: Eti Alfandari
